Single-leg lateral, horizontal, and vertical jump assessment: reliability, interrelationships …

This study investigated the association between explosive force production during isometric
squats and athletic performance (sprint time and countermovement jump height). Sprint time …

Field sport coaches must use reliable and valid tests to assess change-of-direction speed in
their athletes. Few tests feature linear sprinting with acute change-of-direction maneuvers …

Abstract Kawamori, N, Nosaka, K, and Newton, RU. Relationships between ground reaction
impulse and sprint acceleration performance in team sport athletes. J Strength Cond Res 27 …

Performance in the 100 m sprint is influenced by a multitude of factors including starting
strategy, stride length, stride frequency, physiological demands, biomechanics, neural …

The speed performance is involved not only in linear sprints, but also in a wide spectrum of
multi-directional movements, such as curve sprinting. Curved sprint can be defined as sprint …

Abstract Kawamori, N, Newton, RU, Hori, N, and Nosaka, K. Effects of weighted sled towing
with heavy versus light load on sprint acceleration ability. J Strength Cond Res 28 (10): 2738 …

Athletes use weighted sled towing to improve sprint ability, but little is known about its
biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of weighted sled …

Although it is recommended to use sport-specific training programs to optimize performance,
studies analyzing the effects of the core stability training with high levels of sport-specificity …
