How jump and weight training together improves performance

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy university students who have history of resistance training at least for 3 times per week for 2 months continuously in the past 6 months

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/12/022462
• Lead Sponsor: Department of Exercise and Sports Science

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of combined plyometric and resistance training of lower limbs on:

–     the stiffness of Achilles and patellar tendon

–      Jump height

Hypothesis - combined plyometric and resistance will improve both tendon stiffness and jump height

Results- There was a significant improvement in both tendon stiffness of Achilles and patellar tendon and as well as jump height in all the participants.
