“…This could be due both to the high intensity of their training (more than 12 hours per week) and early initiation of weight training programs and plyometric exercises (at age 12 or earlier). This fact would support the proposal of many authors on the adequacy of weight training in young subjects (Gorostiaga, Izquierdo, Ruesta, Iribarren, González-Badillo, & Ibáñez, 2004;Ignjatović, Stanković, Marković, & Milanović, 2011;Santos & Janeira, 2008. Statistically significant differences between professional and young elite players have been found in all variables related to power production.…”

High performance in a vertical jump, ability to repeat short sprints (RSA) and muscle power are all three most relevant factors for professional basketball players. Still, there is a lack of studies analyzing the differences of these variables between professional and young basketball players. The aim of this research is to study the differences on the vertical jump, the RSA and mechanical power between professional and elite young basketball players. For this, 11 professional (n = 11, age = 24.3 ± 5.5 years, height = 200 ± 10.4 cm, weight = 98.4 ± 8.7 kg) and nine elite young basketball players (n = 9, age = 15.2 ± 0.4 years, height = 190 ± 6.5 cm, weight = 78.2 ± 5.2 kg) were tested on the Repeated Sprint Test (RAST), Countermovement Jump (CMJ) before and after the RAST, 35 m sprint, and the mechanical power produced in these. The results show non-significance between groups as regards the RAST fatigue index, CMJ height and 35 m sprint time. However, professional players produced significantly more power in these variables than young elite players (p < 0.05 -0.001). These findings may have significant practical relevance on training programs intended for young basketball players.Key words: Adolescents, fitness, muscle power, sport. ResumenEl alto rendimiento en el salto vertical, la capacidad de repetir sprints (RSA) y la potencia muscular son 3 de las variables más importantes para los jugadores de baloncesto profesionales. Sin embargo, hay pocos estudios que analicen las diferencias en estas variables entre jugadores jóvenes de alto nivel y sujetos profesionales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las diferencias en el salto vertical (CMJ), la RSA y la potencia muscular entre jugadores de baloncesto profesionales y jóvenes talentos. Para ello, un test de RSA, el CMJ antes y después del test de RSA, el sprint de 35 m y la potencia en dichas variables fueron medidas a 11 jugadores de baloncesto profesionales (n = 11, edad = 24.3 ± 5.5 años, altura = 200 ± 10.4 cm, peso = 98.4 ± 8.7 kg) y a 9 jugadores jóve-nes de élite (n = 9, edad = 15.2 ± 0.4 años, altura = 190 ± 6.5 cm, peso = 78.2 ± 5.2 kg). Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias significativas entre grupos en la fatiga en el test de RSA, la altura alcanzada en el CMJ o el sprint de 35 m. Sin embargo, los jugadores profesionales produjeron significativamente más potencia en estas variables que los jóvenes (p < 0.05 -0.001). Estos hallazgos pueden tener relevancia práctica en el diseño de los programas de entrenamiento para jugadores jó-venes de baloncesto.

“…Improving the vertical jump is instrumental for coaches and players. Many studies on training programs with loads and/or plyometric workouts are aimed at increasing vertical jumping ability in players of all ages and competitive levels (Marzilli, 2008;Santos & Janeira, 2008.…”

“…This opportunity for strength and conditioning programs is not surprising because research suggests that strength training has a profound benefit on athletic performance (15). When strength training is combined with other types of activities such as plyometrics, dynamic warm ups, or speed training, the benefits increase exponentially (3,23,27,29). Therefore, it is positive that the majority of high school athletes in these Southern Idaho districts and sports surveyed are providing strength and conditioning opportunities for their athletes.…”

Currently, little is known about strength and conditioning programs at the high school level. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to explore current practices in strength and conditioning for varsity high school athletes in selected sports. Specifically examined were: who administers programs for these athletes, what kinds of training activities are done, and whether the responsible party or emphasis changes depending on the gender of the athletes. Coaches of varsity soccer, basketball, and softball/baseball in three large Idaho school districts were asked to complete an online survey. Sixty-seven percent (32/48) of the questionnaires were completed and used for the study. The majority of coaches (84%) provided strength and conditioning opportunities for their athletes, although only 37% required participation. Strength training programs were designed and implemented primarily by either physical education (PE) teachers or head coaches. Compared to coaches of male athletes, coaches of female athletes were less likely to know the credentials of their strength coaches, and they were less likely to use certified coaches to plan and implement their strength and conditioning programs. Most programs included dynamic warm-ups and cool-downs, plyometrics, agility training, speed training, and conditioning, and most programs were conducted three days a week (76%) for sessions lasting between 30 and 59 minutes (63%). Compared to their female counterparts, male athletes were more likely to have required training, participate in strength training year round, and train using more sessions per week. This study provides additional information related to the practice of strength and conditioning in a sample of high school athletic teams.

“…The training programs for this study were based on available data sources [4,11,13,24,25] that used both children and adolescents who were either non-athletes or athletes. As our resistance training programs were predominantly designed to evaluate how young Thai male athletes respond to the program, subjective information revealed that young Thai male athletes were highly capable of performing all exercise routines throughout the two weeks of study.…”

“…Complex training is best described as a strength and power training method that combines resistance and plyometric training in the same training session [9,10]. Available information demonstrates the positive effect of complex training on strength and physical performance in pre pubertal boys [11] and explosive strength and sprint performance when combined with routine training in young athletes [12,13].…”

Abstract:The aims of this pilot study were to use various muscular strength and performance evaluation procedures to assess the preliminary responses from young Thai male athletes to strength training programs, and to apply data quality control to assess data reliability. Sixteen young Thai male athletes aged 13-17 years from the Khon Kaen Sport School were sampled: eight were soccer players and eight were track and field athletes. Subjects were divided into two groups: a complex training group (n = 8) and a resistance training group (n = 8). The pilot intervention program was applied twice a week during two weeks. Maximum strength, anaerobic power, vertical jumps, 40-yard sprints, agility and sports skills were measured before and after the two-week training programs. As expected no significant changes were observed in all measured variables from pre-to post-testing in both groups (p>0.05); mean differences (!) between pre-and post-testing of all variables were close to zero, and high reliability values were observed. All subjects handled well the training programs and assessments. No injuries occurred during all training and testing sessions. The training programs and testing procedures were suitable and safe for young male Thai athletes. Results from statistical analysis showed the achievement of high quality data. Further research in this cohort can be done under a well-designed training program and close supervision by researchers.
