The drop height determines neuromuscular adaptations and changes in jump performance in stretch-shortening cycle training

Taube, Wolfgang ; Leukel, Christian ; Lauber, B. ; Gollhofer, Albert

In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2011, p. -

There is an ongoing discussion about how to improve jump performance most efficiently with plyometric training. It has been proposed that drop height influences the outcome, although longitudinal studies are missing. Based on cross-sectional drop jump studies showing height-dependent Hoffmann (H)-reflex activities, we hypothesized that the drop height should influence the neuromuscular...

Spinal reflex plasticity in response to alpine skiing in the elderly

Lauber, B. ; Keller, Martin ; Gollhofer, Albert ; Müller, E. ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2011, vol. 21, no. s1, p. 62–68

The present study was designed to assess the influence of 12 weeks (28.5±2.6 skiing days) of alpine skiing on spinal reflex plasticity, strength and postural control in senior citizens. Therefore, soleus H-reflexes and postural stability were measured during bipedal quiet and unstable stance in 22 (12 male and 10 female) elderly subjects aged 66.6±1 years. Furthermore, the maximal isometric...
