The use of chain or elastic band-resisted variable resistance has become popular in the
training of athletes. A number of studies have investigated the utilization of variable …

The use of various modes of exercise to induce postactivation potentiation (PAP) has been
studied in the current literature. However, discussion on the advantages and disadvantages …

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of back squat exercise with or
without elastic band on countermovement jump performance. Thirteen collegiate male …

The objective was to compare the mean propulsive velocity (MPV), maximum power
(PMAX), heart rate, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during the parallel squat using …

The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in neuromuscular performance
between variable resistance training and constant resistance training within complex …

Modifying basal elongation of elastic bands (EB) has been proven useful to increase some
parameters of the intensity in variable resistance training. Therefore, the question arises as …

Background Variable resistance has been shown to induce greater total work and muscle
activation when compared to constant resistance. However, little is known regarding the …

Objective Acute effects of variable resistance training (VRT) and constant resistance training
(CRT) on neuromuscular performance are still equivocal. We aimed to determine the …

The squat is one of the most commonly used resistance exercises for performance and
health due to its biomechanical and neuromuscular similarities to a wide range of athletic …

Variable, external resistance is proposed to increasingly augment the muscular stress
throughout a dynamic movement. However, it is uncertain how different levels of variable …
