Summary

The main purpose of this study will be comparison of acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post-activation potentiation

Detailed description

This is a single-center, randomized, crossover study. Collegiate soccer players will be enrolled in this study. The study will be performed in 3 separate sessions.In the first session, participants will be familiarized with the experimental conditions and 1RM will be calculated. Participants will then be randomized to receive either heavy resistance or plyometric exercise first in the second session and then will be crossed over to receive the opposite intervention in the third session. The objective of the study is to compare the acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post - activation potentiation by measuring physical performance and blood lactate level.

Conditions

• Soccer
