“…In contrast to our findings superior adaptations in power related measurements are reported when traditional strength training are combined with explosive plyometric exercises in both untrained subjects (11,36) and trained subjects (3,7,17). A point of interest is the fact that none of the combined studies on trained subjects performed additional training, such that the weekly amount of training sessions (2-4) was quite normal (3,7,17).…”

“…This may be related to the lack of specific sprint training during the intervention period. Furthermore, it has been reported that strength training not always improves 20m-100m sprint time (9,17,20,26,39). Interestingly, the group in the study of Kotzamanidis et al (20), which performed sprint training in addidtion to strength training, improved their 30m-sprint performance, while the group who had no specific sprint training did not improve.…”

“…A point of interest is the fact that none of the combined studies on trained subjects performed additional training, such that the weekly amount of training sessions (2-4) was quite normal (3,7,17). Interestingly, in the study of Clutch et al (7), subjects who combined strength and plyometric training was a weight training class and the other was a volleyball team with additional volleyball training five days a week during the intervention.…”

“…Consequently, it has been suggested that combining heavy strength training and R-22996, Revision 1 4 plyometric training improves power and power related skills to greater extent than any of the two training modalities alone (3). In the majority of studies in this field, data supports the hypothesis that combining heavy strength training and plyometric exercises is superior to only training one of the training modalities (3,11,17,20,36). The reason for this could be that these two training modes enhance two important qualities for high power production:…”

“…26,30,39). However, contradictory results exist regarding the effects of plyometric training on speed-power measurements (23,39) as well as for the effect of heavy strength training (17,20,39). Heavy strength training and plyometric training may affect different aspects of power related skills.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined strength and plyometric training with strength training alone on power related measurements in professional soccer players. Subjects in the intervention team were randomly divided into two groups. Group ST (n = 6) performed heavy strength training twice a week during seven weeks in addition to 6-8 soccer sessions a week. Group ST+P (n = 8) performed a plyometric training program in addition to the same training as the ST group. The control (C) group (n = 7) performed 6-8 soccer sessions a week. Pre and post tests were 1RM half squat, counter movement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), 4-bound test (4BT), peak power in half squat with 20kg, 35kg, and 50 kg (PP 20 , PP 35 , PP 50 , respectively), sprint acceleration, peak sprint velocity and total time 40m sprint. There were no significant difference between the ST+P group and ST group, thus we pooled the groups into one intervention group. The intervention group significantly improved in all measurements except CMJ, while the C group only showed significant improvements in PP 20 . There was significant difference in relative improvement between the intervention group and C group in 1RM half squat, 4BT, and SJ. However, significant difference between groups was not observed in PP 20 , and PP 35 , sprint acceleration, peak sprinting velocity and total time on 40m sprint. The results suggest that there is no significant performance enhancing effects of combining strength and plyometric training in professional soccer players concurrently performing 6-8 soccer sessions a week compared to strength training alone. However, heavy strength training leads to significant gains in strength and power related measurements in professional soccer players.

Short-term Periodization Models: Effects on Strength and Speed-strength Performance

Dividing training objectives into consecutive phases to gain morphological adaptations (hypertrophy phase) and neural adaptations (strength and power phases) is called strength-power periodization (SPP). These phases differ in program variables (volume, intensity, and exercise choice or type) and use stepwise intensity progression and concomitant decreasing volume, converging to peak intensity (peaking phase). Undulating periodization strategies rotate these program variables in a bi-weekly, weekly, or daily fashion. The following review addresses the effects of different short-term periodization models on strength and speed-strength both with subjects of different performance levels and with competitive athletes from different sports who use a particular periodization model during off-season, pre-season, and in-season conditioning. In most periodization studies, it is obvious that the strength endurance sessions are characterized by repetition zones (12-15 repetitions) that induce muscle hypertrophy in persons with a low performance level. Strictly speaking, when examining subjects with a low training level, many periodization studies include mainly hypertrophy sessions interspersed with heavy strength/power sessions. Studies have demonstrated equal or statistically significant higher gains in maximal strength for daily undulating periodization compared with SPP in subjects with a low to moderate performance level. The relatively short intervention period and the lack of concomitant sports conditioning call into question the practical value of these findings for competitive athletes. Possibly owing to differences in mesocycle length, conditioning programs, and program variables, competitive athletes either maintained or improved strength and/or speed-strength performance by integrating daily undulating periodization and SPP during off-season, pre-season and in-season conditioning. In high-performance sports, high-repetition strength training (>15) should be avoided because it does not provide an adequate training stimulus for gains in muscle cross-sectional area and strength performance. High-volume circuit strength training performed over 2 years negatively affected the development of the power output and maximal strength of the upper extremities in professional rugby players. Indeed, meta-analyses and results with weightlifters, American Football players, and throwers confirm the necessity of the habitual use of ≥80% 1 RM: (1) to improve maximal strength during the off-season and in-season in American Football, (2) to reach peak performance in maximal strength and vertical jump power during tapering in track-and-field, and (3) to produce hypertrophy and strength improvements in advanced athletes. The integration and extent of hypertrophy strength training in in-season conditioning depend on the duration of the contest period, the frequency of the contests, and the proportion of the conditioning program. Based on the literature, 72 h between hypertrophy strength training and strength-power training should be pr...
