The female non athletes had an average leap of 29.79078 ± 7.75456. The P value for this graph was 0.3634, which proves that there was not a significant difference between the two groups. The article continued to discuss the importance of training and the relationship between training and a higher leap. Although the experiment was splitting male and females, the importance of training was also proven. “Female athletes had an average leap of 43.71 ± 4.96.”…

Can preseason fitness help prevent injury? In effort to decrease knee join injury, Hewett and colleagues (1999) recommended all young female athletes participate in a training program that includes progressive resistance weight training. This is one of the few studies that collected data on athletes that completed a preseason training program. A trained athlete completed a 6-week muscular training program that incorporated flexibility, plyometric, and weight training.…

To Play or Not To Play???“Put Me in Coach” When people reminisce about their high school years, fond memories of being at the height of fitness, spending countless hours with teammates, and playing in the “Big Game” are often treasured. However, some students at St. Anthony High School are choosing not to be involved in the athletic program for social and academic reasons. As a result, many are missing out on one of the most important aspects of their high school career. Although some believe that participation in high school athletics is a roadblock towards academic success and a satisfying social life, students should play at least one sport throughout high school because they will develop critical life skills and increase their physical…
In discussion of youth sports and the benefits associated, one controversial issue has been improving the developmental benefits while decreasing the risks associated. On the one hand, research provides evidence surrounding the numerous developmental benefits associated with youth sports participation. On the other hand, research provides us with the risks involved with youth sports if certain precautionary measures are not addressed. However, more strict regulations placed on youth practice times and rule changes for competitive games, if implemented correctly, can greatly decrease the risks involved in youth sports and further improve the benefits already associated. Others have even maintained that youth sports, despite the risks involved,…

Sprinting (10, 20, 30 m), jumping, and intermittent endurance (through the Yo-Yo test) are all commonly assessed. In performance, the field players were faster in intermittent endurance than goalkeepers, while sprinting didn’t vary among the positions. Goalkeepers did, however, obtain the best results in jumping (Iglesias-Gutiérrez). However, in a different study of 180 Portuguese U19 soccer players that were tested in agility and the aspects previously listed, goalkeepers were found to have better jumping, sprinting and agility results while field players once again had better endurance results. Although the activities of goalkeepers are not as great as those of field players during a match, high-intensity actions such dives, jumps, sprints are common and decisive to the final score, so goalkeepers present better sprint and agility and higher levels of lower-limb strength…
Whether it involves sprinting down the court on a fast break or chasing a loose ball, speed often contributes to overall athletic ability. The striker in soccer beating the defender to the ball and scoring the winning goal, the tennis player running down a crosscourt shot before playing a winner down the line, or the wide receiver outrunning the defense for a game-winning touchdown are all examples of the importance of speed in sport. Given this importance, it is no surprise that tests of running speed play a large role in evaluation programs for sport. Similarly, athletes with great speed are highly sought out in variety of…
