“…The results of this study, showing a significant positive correlation between SLJ, SJ, and CMJ and athletic performance, are indeed consistent with previous reports establishing the relationship between jump ability and athletic performance (Takanashi et al, 2009;Hatakeyama et al, 2011;Maeda et al, 2018;Aoki et al, 2015;Victor & Artur, 2003;Zaras et al, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between jump ability and athletic performance of athletic throwers based on data taken over two years. The data of 24 1 st -year and 2 nd -year male university throwers was compiled to examine the relationship regarding athletic performance. In summary, the three events of standing long jump (SLJ), squat jump (SJ), and counter-movement jump (CMJ) were always in a positive correlation with athletic performance in the two-year measurement. Next, SJ was most relevant to the athletic performance of the five jump measurement items. Standing triple jump (STJ) and rebound jump (RJ) did not improve in two years, and no association with the athletic performance was seen. These results suggest that simple explosive exercises, such as SLJ, SJ, and CMJ, are effective for evaluating the physical fitness of throwers. The vertical jump capability is particularly useful for evaluating athletic performance. The innovation of this study is found in SJ, which exerts power from a stationary state, and could be significant in optimizing athletic performance, which can be enhanced through modified training practices that incorporate SJ.

“…They consist of events that reflect the specificity of the competition, such as throwing, standing long and triple jumps, 30 m sprint, shot back throw, and power evaluation by bicycle pedalling. These field tests have been performed from the 1980s to the present day, and the reliability of their evaluations has been reported (Jones, 1987;Borgstrom, 1989;Takanashi et al, 2009;Aoki et al, 2015). However, while many reports evaluated the power ability of the lower or intact body, few studies evaluated the explosive strength of the upper body .…”

Physical fitness evaluation of throwing athletes has been performed based on measurement items for the purpose of power evaluation of the lower limbs and whole body; however, the method for assessing the muscle strength and exertion of the upper body has not been acknowledged extensively. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the evaluation of the explosive muscle performance of the upper body of an athlete using several measurement parameters, including push up jump (PJ), countermovement push up (CMPU) flight time, medicine ball throw (MBT), countermovement medicine ball throw, and one repetition maximum of the bench press (BP-1RM). The relationship between these measurement items and athletic performance as determined using the IAAF score was examined. Eleven male athletes training on a daily basis were enrolled. A significant positive correlation between MBT and athletic performance was observed, indicating the usefulness of physical fitness evaluation in athletes. Conversely, PJ and CMPU were not associated with athletic performance, suggesting that these parameters may be negatively affected by the subject's weight. Further, BP-1RM did not show a significant correlation with athletic performance, owing to the fact that the exertion characteristics of one repetition maximum do not reflect the shrinkage rate of the muscle required for throwing. It is recommended that athletes select an event wherein their weight positively affects the competitive ability and does not affect measurement parameters. Further, explosive muscle performance without counter movements maybe incorporated into the physical fitness assessment of athletes.

“…Athletes' training in cyclic kinds of sports is characterized by extreme loads, oriented on simultaneous development of endurance and quickness [6,26,29]. In our study combining of differently oriented loads for training of the mentioned qualities requires from athlete high aerobic-anaerobic potentials.…”

Purpose:to offer the variant of physical load's distribution in annual cycle of students', practicing cyclic kinds of sports training. Material:in the research pedagogic HEE students, specializing in skiing and light athletic participated (n=18 -boys, n=8 -girls, age -18-23 years). The students were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Results:by comparison we determined the following: volume and intensity of physical load in micro-cycle and macro-cycle; indicators of cyclic load's distribution in year plan of students' training. In cyclic group of skiers we used the method of standard-interval and alternative exercises. I.e. exercises of one load are fulfilled repeatedly. Other method implies variable, increasing or decreasing physical load. Cyclic load, fulfilled at heart beats rate of 160-190 bpm, accented on intensity, prevails. The main requirement is: fulfillment of movements with maximal quickness. In group of light athletic sportsmen the method of standard -continuous exercises, implying moderate intensity, was used. For example: standard current exercises -passing distance of 3 km, 5 km or 10 km. Cyclic load, fulfilled at heart beats rate of 140-160 bpm, accented on volume. Conclusions:In cyclic load of light athletic group aerobic character of work prevails. In cyclic load of skiers' group mixed and anaerobic character of work prevails.
