The Effects of Jump-Rope Training on Shoulder Isokinetic Strength in Adolescent Volleyball Players

Abstract

The results indicate that a jump-rope training program is a good conditioning method for overhead athletes because of its potential benefits to shoulder strength.

Does the Weighted Rope Jump Training Affect the Motor Skills in Adolescent Female Volleyball Players?

“…Earlier studies on groups of children and adolescents volleyball players [22,23]. show that this group is in inferior regarding functional ability, physical fi tness and cardiovascular capacity compared to peers.…”

“…Improvement in knee extensors is especially important, as the knee joint is the most affected joint in adolescent's volleyball players [23]. Earlier studies on groups of children and adolescents volleyball players [22,23].…”

Effects of Weighted Versus Standard Jump Rope Training on Physical Fitness in Adolescent Female Volleyball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Also, the use of weighted ropes may also have additional advantages that are typically associated with plyometrics, such as improving upper-body strength and coordination for lower-body (7)(8)(17)(18). A recent systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that plyometric training programs have only small to medium-sized effects to improve measures of physical fitness and athletic performance, whereas complex training programs have predominantly larger effects (19).…”

“…Jump rope training was previously reported to be effective in increasing fitness and muscular function of the involved extremities; and improving cardiovascular functions and physical fitness (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). This training requires the coordination of several muscle groups to sustain precisely timed and rhythmic plyometric movements, in order to be able to involve a high-intensity concentric contraction immediately after a rapid and powerful eccentric contraction (13).…”

“…In general, it has been recommended that the main goals of training program for volleyball players should include improving performance and long-term activity without injury, increasing power and strength, and improving the ability to change direction and accelerate without the loss of speed and balance (6). Therefore, volleyball training includes various types of exercises and regimens (6)(7)(8).…”
