“…Intramuscular neural adaptations include the activation of motor units, firing frequency, synchronization of motor unit firing, stretch reflex and inter-muscular adaptations are activation of corresponding (synergist) muscles and co-contraction of antagonist muscles. 33 So, one can conclude that neuromuscular adaptations and improvement of muscles and joints sensory functions occurred as the result strength trainings and led to improved static balance in the DCD children under study. The results showed that strength training had no significant effect on dynamic balance in children with DCD.…”

Introduction.Balance is one of the main problems of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). According to process-oriented approach, besides strength training, neuromuscular adaptations can improve balance. Objective. To evaluate the effects of strength training on improving static and dynamic balance in DCD children. Methods and population. Children between 7 to 9 years old in Tehran participated in the study through randomized controlled trial design. Subjects were randomly divided into two experimental (n = 15) and control (n= 15) groups. The participants exercised for 12 weeks and 24 sessions. The experimental group received strength training using flexible Theraband elastic exercise and control group received routine exercises in physical education class. Isometric strength of hip abductor muscles and plantar flexors were measured using hand held dynamometer, and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) was used for measurement of static and dynamic balance. Data were analyzed using independent and paired sample t-tests. Results. Strength training significantly increased muscle strength in DCD children (P <0.001) and improved their static balance performance (P <0.05); however, these exercises had no significant effect on their dynamic balance performance (P >0.05). Conclusion. The strength training leads to static balance improve in DCD children. There was not an improvement in dynamic balance through the strength training in these children.

“…Increased pitching velocity in baseball, for instance, has been shown to accommodate training programs that include ballistic exercises such as JSs and bench press throws (37). In addition to the results of Newton et al (40), a sound case can be made that these alterations may be underpinned by increases in RFD, as these exercises have been associated with increases with this training variable in other studies as well (19,29,40). In addition, a previous study by Marques et al (36) explored the relationship between RFD and throwing velocity in elite handball players.…”

“…Based on our findings, when training athletes for improvement in vertical jump and lower body power, the chosen training modality is negligible. What may be of more importance is that an appropriate training stimulus is present that could lead to neuromuscular adaptation, i.e., motor unit recruitment, motor unit firing rate, and cocontraction of antagonists (Hammett and Hey 2003).The chosen training must also satisfy the specificity component of training (Baechle and Earle 2000). Thus, if the practitioner wishes to improve lower body power, programs and exercises must be selected to elicit such a response from the neuromuscular system.…”

The purpose of the present investigation was to compare the effects of weight training, training with weights and plyometrics, and training with weights and the VertiMax on vertical jump. Subjects were 37 intercollegiate athletes assigned to one of four training groups: strength (S), strength-plyometric (P), strength-VertiMax without arms (VNA), and strength-VertiMax with arms (VA). Each group completed a 6-week training program. There were no statistical increases in pre-post vertical jump within all groups. There were no significant differences for posttest vertical jump between the four training groups. Pre- and posttest effect sizes were minimal across all groups. The findings of this study demonstrate that there is no difference in vertical jump among strength training, plyometric training, and jump training over a 6-week timeframe.
