“…In the HR, all intensities showed significant increases in the 10 th -50 th min after PE, and significantly reduced in the 90 th min after PE. The findings of the present study are in line with previous studies that investigated PEH after resistance and endurance exercises [2, 13, 18] . In contrast, Brown et al [9] examined the effects of 8 sets of 10 reps of depth jump from 80 cm box on BP and HR responses, and found no changes in SBP, DBP at 5-10 min post exercise in normotensive men and women.…”

“…Despite the important role of plyometric exercise, the information about this kind of exercise on the cardiovascular system, especially on BP is not completely understood. Only a few studies have investigated the BP responses following PE, and these have shown conflicting results [12, 13, 14] . Previous authors showed that PE can increase BP after each set of exercise [13, 14] , but the information about the effects of PE on PEH is scarce and no study has examined this approach.…”

If PE is to be used as a non-pharmacological intervention in the management of BP, more knowledge is required about the different characteristics (i.e.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of high, moderate and low intensity plyometric exercise on the post-exercise systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate responses. Methods Conclusion:It can be concluded that a plyometric exercise (PE) can reduce SBP and DBP post-exercise and therefore we can say that PE has significant effects for reducing BP and HR or post-exercise hypotension.

“…Furthermore, jumps induce high impact forces and internal muscle forces that are necessary for the deformation of bone and thus provide an osteo- and muscle-protective stimulus (Rittweger et al, 2000 ; Ebben et al, 2010 ). At the same time, plyometric exercise can be very exhaustive and therefore high workload- or high intensity interval protocols could induce cardiovascular responses, preventing cardiovascular deconditioning (Arazi et al, 2012 , 2014 ). The workgroup of Kramer (University of Konstanz, Germany) invented a new sledge jump system which allows after some practice almost natural reactive jumps in reduced gravity (Kramer et al, 2010 , 2012 ).…”

Human Biomechanical and Cardiopulmonary Responses to Partial Gravity – A Systematic Review

et al. 2017

The European Space Agency has recently announced to progress from low Earth orbit missions on the International Space Station to other mission scenarios such as exploration of the Moon or Mars. Therefore, the Moon is considered to be the next likely target for European human space explorations. Compared to microgravity (μg), only very little is known about the physiological effects of exposure to partial gravity (μg < partial gravity <1 g). However, previous research studies and experiences made during the Apollo missions comprise a valuable source of information that should be taken into account when planning human space explorations to reduced gravity environments. This systematic review summarizes the different effects of partial gravity (0.1–0.4 g) on the human musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems using data collected during the Apollo missions as well as outcomes from terrestrial models of reduced gravity with either 1 g or microgravity as a control. The evidence-based findings seek to facilitate decision making concerning the best medical and exercise support to maintain astronauts' health during future missions in partial gravity. The initial search generated 1,323 publication hits. Out of these 1,323 publications, 43 studies were included into the present analysis and relevant data were extracted. None of the 43 included studies investigated long-term effects. Studies investigating the immediate effects of partial gravity exposure reveal that cardiopulmonary parameters such as heart rate, oxygen consumption, metabolic rate, and cost of transport are reduced compared to 1 g, whereas stroke volume seems to increase with decreasing gravity levels. Biomechanical studies reveal that ground reaction forces, mechanical work, stance phase duration, stride frequency, duty factor and preferred walk-to-run transition speed are reduced compared to 1 g. Partial gravity exposure below 0.4 g seems to be insufficient to maintain musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary properties in the long-term. To compensate for the anticipated lack of mechanical and metabolic stimuli some form of exercise countermeasure appears to be necessary in order to maintain reasonable astronauts' health, and thus ensure both sufficient work performance and mission safety.

“…increased activity of parasympathetic nervous system and low heart rate at rest). Moreover, eccentric exercises usually included in training might result in increased sympathetic activity [20]. A very good level of aerobic power seems necessary to meet the demands of training and to recover between the high intensity actions during match-play, but this parameter cannot discriminate volleyball players by level.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare female volleyball teams with different performance level and to identify the physiological characteristics that discriminate them. Methods Thirty-seven players (age 21.9 ± 4.8 years, mean ± standard deviation, body mass 66.3 ± 7.1 kg, stature 173.9 ± 7.3 cm) from teams A, B and C participating in the first, second and third Greek league, respectively, performed a series of anthropometric and physical fitness measures. Results Players of team A and B were taller than players of C [10.8 cm (4.7; 16.9), mean difference (95 % confidence intervals), and 7.4 cm (1.6; 13.3), respectively]. Players of A also had lower body fat [-5.8 % (-9.3; -2.3)] and higher fat-free mass than C [6.5 kg (1.8; 11.3)]. The mean somatotype of A was ectomorphic mesomorph, B was balanced endomorph and C was mesomorphic endomorph. Players of B jumped higher in squat jump, countermovement jump without and with arm-swing than their counterparts of C [4.9 cm (1.4; 8.5), 4.3 cm (0.3; 8.3) and 5.1 cm (0.9; 9.2), respectively]. Players of A scored better than those of C with regard to the strength of the right hand [5.9 kg (1.2; 10.6)] and the sum of both hands [10.2 kg (1.4; 19.1)]. Peak power in Wingate anaerobic test was better in team B than C [1.0 W kg -1 (0.0; 2.0)]. Team A and B scored higher in mean power either in absolute values [79 W (11; 147) and 77 W (10; 143), respectively] or in relative to body mass values [1.0 W kg -1 (0.1; 1.8) and 1.0 W kg -1 (0.2; 1.8), respectively] than team C. Conclusions These findings confirmed the importance of stature and jump ability for performance in volleyball. However, what is novel is that for the first time we identified differences in upper limbs' muscle strength and in lower limbs' muscle power among teams from different leagues, and based on these findings recommendations can be given on training goals and players' selection.
