“…Similar training volume, intensity, and workloads, in addition to low relative bench press strength (0.94 and 0.98 at baseline), are most likely the explanation of the findings. Different findings have been reported in a study comparing heavy resistance training and ballistic power training [28,29], but not in all [40]. Importantly, power training with maximal effort can improve 1-RM strength [2].…”

Effects of bouncing the barbell in bench press on throwing velocity and strength among handball players

Bench press is a popular training-exercise in throw related sports such as javelin, baseball and handball. Athletes in these sports often use bouncing (i.e., letting the barbell collide with the chest) to create an increased momentum to accelerate the barbell upwards before completing the movement by throwing the barbell. Importantly, the effects of the bouncing technique in bench press have not been examined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effects of bench press throw with (BPTbounce) or without bounce (BPT) on throwing velocity (penalty and 3-step), 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) and average power output (20-60kg) in bench press among handball players. Sixteen male amateur handball players (7.1±1.9 years of handball experience) were randomly allocated to an eight-week supplementary power training program (2 x week-1) with either the BPT or BPTbounce. Except for the bounce technique, the training programs were identical and consisted of 3 sets with 3–5 repetitions at 40–60% of 1-RM with maximal effort in free-weight barbell bench press throw. The results revealed no significant differences between the groups in any of the tests (p = 0.109–0.957). However, both groups improved penalty throw (BPT; 4.6%, p<0.001, ES = 0.57; BPTbounce; 5.1%, p = 0.008, ES = 0.91) and 1-RM (BPT; 9.7%, p<0.001, ES = 0.49; BPTbounce; 8.7%, p = 0.018, ES = 0.60), but only the BPT improved the 3-step throw (BPT; 2.9%, p = 0.060, ES = 0.38; BPTbounce; 2.3%, p = 0.216, ES = 0.40). The BPT improved power output only at 20kg and 30kg loads (9.1% and 12.7%; p = 0.018–0.048, ES = 0.43–0.51) whereas BPTbounce demonstrated no significant differences across the loads (p = 0.252–0.806). In conclusion, the bounce technique demonstrated similar effects on throwing velocity, muscle strength and muscle power output as conventional bench press throw without the bounce technique.

The overhead throw is a fundamental technical-tactical ability for overhead sports. The purposes of this review are to assess the effect of resistance training (RT) in enhancing throwing velocity in athletes and to investigate the relationships between age or gender in this effect. Control group trials were identified through looking up electronic databases with a search span of 10th December 2020. Only studies which have control groups within research design, subjects randomly assigned to groups, healthy athletes with experience in the sport, an intervention consisting of a supervised RT program of a minimum duration of 4 weeks, and assessment of sport-specific throwing velocity were taken into account for this meta-analysis. A total of 16 studies with 424 subjects were deemed eligible per the inclusion criteria. The overall pooled analysis demonstrated that a large effect was observed for throwing velocity outcomes (ES 1.10; 95% CI 0.64–1.57; p < 0.00001). Differences were due to gender, with male (ES 1.12; 95% CI 0.55–1.78; p < 0.0001) and female athletes (ES 1.22; 95% CI 0.25–2.20; p < 0.00001). And due to age, with teenager athletes (ES 0.49; 95% CI -0.18–1.17; p = 0.04) and adult athletes (ES 1.34; 95% CI 0.64–1.92; p < 0.00001). Throwing velocity enhancement after RT was greater for women than for men, and for adults more than underage subjects. RT should last at least four weeks, with 2–3 sessions each week, and with any available implement.

“…For a majority of people in rehabilitation or with an innate disability, such as following stroke or orthopaedic surgery, strength training for feeble muscles is a vital feature to improve recovery [14]. Several studies examined the impact of resistance training on different categories of body mass index [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In the sphere of indoor racket games Squash is considered as the second fastest games [22].…”

The purpose of the study was to compare resistance and squash training on speed, explosive power, muscular endurance and flexibility among college male students. Nineteen college male students 20-22 years divided into two groups, resistance training group (RT, n = 10) and squash training group (SQT, n = 9). RT group performed several weight machines. The SQT group undertook squash skills in addition to participation in tournaments. The training lasted for 6 weeks, 4 days/ week, 30 min per session. Subjects were tested on body composition and physical fitness before and after training. One Repetition Maximum (1RM) was used to decide maximum strength of RT group. Means, SD, independent and Paired t-test utilized with P ≤ 0.05. The RT group exhibited greater mean difference than SQT group in BM (P = 0.032) and BMI (P = 0.013). No mean differences were observed between groups in all physical fitness parameters (P ≥ 0.05). However, when after-training-tests were matched with beforetraining-tests in each group independently, RT decreased significantly in 50 m sprint time by 6% (P = 0.008), SLJ by 6.3% (P = 0.004) and sit and reach by 12.4% (P = 0.012) but, no change in sit-ups (P ≥ 0.05). While, SQT showed elevation (P = 0.003) in sit and reach of 19%, no changes was seen in the other fitness parameters (P ≥ 0.05). It was concluded that RT group had training effect on speed, explosive power and flexibility, while SQT group showed training effect in flexibility.
