“…The elastic components act like a spring, where the energy release will be greater with higher forces. 3 Furthermore, the rapid transition from stretch to shortening activates the stretch reflex by stimulating stretch-sensitive receptors (muscle spindles) within the muscle detecting changes in both muscle length and velocity. Activated muscle spindles excite motoneurons in the spinal cord, which in turn excite the muscle fibers they innervate.…”

Objective To determine the effect of lower body plyometric training (PLY) on jumping, sprint performance, and lower body muscle strength in healthy adults. Methods A systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase) was performed. Studies were included if they (a) described a lower body PLY intervention lasting ≥4 weeks; (b) included measures of jumping, sprint, and/or lower body muscle strength; (c) included healthy individuals ≥18 years; (d) included a training or non‐training control group; and (e) were written in English. Meta‐analyses identifying the effects of PLY on jumping, sprint, and lower body muscle strength were conducted providing the standardized mean difference (SMD). Results A total of 826 records were identified of which 25 fulfilled the inclusion criteria, yielding 19, 11, and seven data points for the meta‐analyses of jumping, sprint performance, and lower body muscle strength, respectively. The data showed improvements for all three performance variables after 4‐12 weeks of PLY. The SMD (CI95%) across studies for jump height, sprint time, and muscle strength were 0.45 (0.16: 0.75), −0.59 (−1.01: −0.17), and 0.33 (0.03: 0.63), respectively, where the latter two showed within‐sample heterogeneity. Conclusion The systematic review and meta‐analyses showed that PLY elicits a small‐to‐moderate positive effect on jumping, sprint performance, and lower body muscle strength in healthy adults being recreationally active or athletes.

“…Furthermore, diabetic patients should do a physical exercise at least three times/week with 30-45 min duration and moderate intensity to enhance reduction of their blood glucose levels [3]. Recent studies have reported that exercise after meal can improve blood glucose levels of diabetic patients through insulin sensitivity and muscular glucose uptake [7]- [11] Plyometric exercise or jumping training which consists of jumping, bounding and hooping is primarily used by athletes to improve their muscle strength and speed performance [12], [13]. The jumping jack is easyly done by everyone, in everywhere and every time.…”

Prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the world has increased significantly in the last decades. Post meal physical exercise studies could improves blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Plyometric exercise is a simple body movement that usually uses in body weight management. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combination of diet and post meal plyometric exercise on blood glucose levels of diabetic patients. A total of 19 diabetic patients were participated in this randomized control trial study. The control (C) group (10 patients) only received a standardized diet was determine using the IEA recommendation and the treatment (T) group (9 patients) received the same diet and post meal jumping jack for 2 min. Fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were measured in the 1 st and 7 th days of intervention. Mean BMI in C and T groups was > 25 kg/m 2. Reduced mean blood glucose levels in 0 min of the C group (146.90±68.34 mg/dL) in 7 th day intervention were significant lower than 1st day (198.70±91.64 mg/dL). While mean blood glucose levels of the T group in 0, 30 and 60 min at 7 th day intervention (143±53.95; 203.78±79.64; 237±72.76 mg/dL) were significanly lower than 1 st day intervention (179.78±74.17; 254.67±102.73; 287.89±109.44 mg/dL) respectively. Standardized diet and post meal plyometric exercise can decrease postprandial blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Further investigation are required to find appropriate type and duration of post meal exercise, based on individual patients with diabetes.

“…This notion of increased muscular output is further supported by the findings in the pre-PHV tuck jump scores, which showed the largest decrement in the progressive group, suggesting they have an increased risk of injury post-intervention. The need to safely control and decelerate limbs via eccentric contractions is vital to injury management, and can be exasperated during periods of increased force production [59,60]. This process requires an element of technical control and muscular strength, neither of which were targeted within the coaching sessions of this intervention.…”

Literature pertaining to youth development has identified the importance of understanding the physical, intellectual and emotional needs of adolescent youth. The purpose of this study was to compare the use of a ‘traditional’ and ‘progressive’ coaching style to train a general male youth population to improve sprint and jump performances, whilst assessing enjoyment to comment on long term application. Maximal sprint times, sprint kinematics, unilateral jump distances and repetitive tuck jump scores were measured alongside anthropometric variables to characterise performance. Results revealed significant (p>0.05) pre/post differences in anthropometric variables across all maturation groups, and each of the maturational levels displayed a tendency to favour a particular coaching or control condition. Pre-PHV groups responded most effectively to the progressive style of coaching, displaying improvements in horizontal jump performances, and -0.7 to -2.7% improvements in all sprint times, despite also showing the largest increase in tuck jump scores (25.8%). The circa-PHV group produced their greatest improvements in the traditional intervention, as displayed through significant improvements (p<0.05) in 20m sprint times and dominant-leg horizontal jump performance, whilst also revealing the greatest deterioration in tuck jump scores (14.2%). Post-PHV displayed the greatest improvements in the control setting, suggesting the natural benefits gained through adolescent development were greater than the influence of the training interventions. In conclusion, it is suggested that matching coaching strategies and delivery techniques to the period of biological maturation may have implications for both performance and athlete safety.
