The impact of high velocity/low load resistant trainingon variables that relate to soccer performance
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a resistance training session which incorporated light loads and high intensity contractions on performance variables associated with soccer. Six male university soccer players participated in this study. A counterbalanced within-subject repeated measures design was used to evaluate the impact of a resistance training session on maximal isometric force (MVIC), vertical jump height (VJH), muscle soreness (MS) and muscle activation (MA). Following an acute standardized resistance training session each subject was randomly allocated to an experimental condition which incorporated either 1 day of passive rest (C1) or 2 days of passive rest (C2). Following the rest period a soccer-specific protocol was completed. A recovery period of at least one week was provided between trials. All measurements were obtained before and immediately upon completion of the resistance training session and at 24 hrs and both 24hrs and 48 hrs following the completion of the training session in (C1) and (C2) respectively. The main findings of this study were that high velocity/low load training produced no significant differences in any of the measured variables in either 1or 2 day/s recovery conditions.
