“…To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study using linear-position technology to quantify effects of partial sleep deprivation on submaximal weight lifting efforts (Bench and inclined Leg Press). Force-velocity linear encoders such as the one we used in this study allow measurement of power output, arguably the primary determinant of sport success; as well as rate of force development, also an important and an underpinning mechanism of power output to be measured (Bevan et al 2010;Hawley et al 1992;Stone et al 2002;Taber et al 2016).We have found similar muscle force and power findings in our control condition to those previously reported at 17:00 h in bench press using a different cohort (Robertson et al 2018). We have used complex exercises that replicate the movements associated with athletic performance (Chapman et al 1998;LeSuer et al 1997).…”

“…39 Besides, the EG increased body mass by 2 kg and thus could lead to strength increase. 40 , 41 However, a small improvement in BP was also noted in the CG. These results could be because swimming training also contributes to improving strength performance, whereas ST combined with swimming training could lead to greater improvement.…”

Background/objective This study aimed to examine the effects of eight weeks of dry-land strength combined with swimming training on the development of upper and lower body strength, jumping ability, and swimming performance in competitive sprinter swimmers. Methods Twenty (14 men and 6 women) university swimmers of national-level (age: 20.55 ± 1.76 years, body mass: 68.86 ± 7.69 kg, height: 1.77 ± 0.06 m, 100 m front crawl: 71.08 ± 6.71s, 50 m front crawl: 31.70 ± 2.45s) were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (EG: 11) and control group (CG: 9). In addition to the usual in-water training (3–4 sessions per week of ∼80 min), the EG performed 8 weeks (one session per week) of strength-training (ST). The ST included bench press, full squat, countermovement jumping, countermovement jumping with free-arm movement, and the medical ball throwing. Stroke length, stroke frequency, stroke index, and swimming velocity were recorded during 50 and 100 m front crawl time-trials. Strength and swimming performance were evaluated before and after 8 weeks of training. Results The results showed a significant improvement in sprint performance (50 m: p < 0.01, d = 0.47; 100 m: p < 0.05, d = 0.42), stroke frequency (50 m: p < 0.01, d = 0.90) and stroke index (100 m: p < 0.01, d = 0.29) in the EG. Despite both groups’ increased strength performance, increases in bench press were higher in the EG (p < 0.001, d = 0.75) than CG (p = 0.05, d = 0.34). Conclusions Complementing in-water training with strength training seems to be relevant to improve upper body strength and to optimize 50 m and 100 m swimming performance, adapting technical patterns used during all-out swimming.

“…The plasticity of RFD in addition to its greater relevance to most athletic tasks [15,16] make it a superior monitoring variable than PF. In well-trained strength athletes, PF may be more effectively used for monitoring long term changes in maximal force producing abilities while RFD provides a more comprehensive indication of the current performance potential of the athlete.…”

“…Strong correlations (r ≥ 0.70) have been observed between these variables and weightlifting performance [12,13,14]. However, research suggests that RFD is more closely related to most athletic tasks [15,16] and is more sensitive to fatigue [12,17]. Haff et al [18] reported that calculating RFD using specific time bands results in higher reliability than quantifying peak RFD values.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinetic and morphological adaptations that occur during distinct phases of a block periodized training cycle in weightlifters. Athlete monitoring data from nine experienced collegiate weightlifters was used. Isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and ultrasonography (US) results were compared to examine the effects of three specific phases of a training cycle leading up to a competition. During the high volume strength-endurance phase (SE) small depressions in rate of force development (RFD) but statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) increases in vastus lateralis cross-sectional area (CSA), and body mass (BM) were observed. The lower volume higher intensity strength-power phase (SP) caused RFD to rebound above pre-training cycle values despite statistically significant reductions in CSA. Small to moderate increases only in the earlier RFD time bands (<150 ms) occurred during the peak/taper phase (PT) while CSA and BM were maintained. Changes in IMTP RFD and CSA from US reflected the expected adaptations of block periodized training phases. Changes in early (<100 ms) and late (≥150 ms) RFD time bands may not occur proportionally throughout different training phases. Small increases in RFD and CSA can be expected in well-trained weightlifters throughout a single block periodized training cycle.
