Biomechanical agreement between different imitation jumps and hill jumps in ski jumping

Ketterer, Jakob ; Gollhofer, Albert ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020, p. sms.13834

Even though the take‐off in ski jumping is decisive, athletes only have a very limited number of training trials on the actual ski jump to practice under real ski jump conditions. Hence, various imitation jumps aiming to mimic the hill jump are performed during daily training. These imitation jumps should therefore mimic the kinematic pattern of hill jumps appropriately. This study aimed to...

A systematic review and meta-analysis on neural adaptations following blood flow restriction training: what we know and what we don’t know

Centner, Christoph ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: Frontiers in Physiology, 2020, vol. 11, p. -

Objective: To summarize the existing evidence on the long-term effects of low-load (LL) blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise on neural markers including both central and peripheral adaptations.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was performed independently by two reviewers in the following electronic databases:...

Knowledge of results during vertical jump testing: an effective method to increase the performance but not the consistency of vertical jumps

García-Ramos, Amador ; Janicijevic, Danica ; Cobo-Font, Juande ; Marcos-Frutos, Daniel ; Fernandes, John F. T. ; Taube, Wolfgang ; Pérez-Castilla, Alejandro

In: Sports Biomechanics, 2020, vol. 0, no. 0, p. 1–13

This study aimed to determine whether the provision of jump height feedback (knowledge of result; KR) can increase the performance and the consistency of output variables. In a randomised order, sixteen participants performed six squat or countermovement jumps (three from a 90º knee angle and three from a self-preferred knee angle) with or without KR over four sessions. The provision of KR...

Training‐, muscle‐ and task‐specific up‐ and downregulation of cortical inhibitory processes

Taube, Wolfgang ; Gollhofer, Albert ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020, vol. 51, no. 6, p. 1428–1440

Motor cortical contribution was shown to be important for balance control and for ballistic types of movements. However, little is known about the role of cortical inhibitory mechanisms and even less about long(er)‐term adaptations of these inhibitory processes. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of intracortical inhibition before and after four weeks of ...

Countermovement jump training is more effective than drop jump training in enhancing jump height in non-professional female volleyball players

Ruffieux, Jan ; Wälchli, Michael ; Kim, Kyung-Min ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Frontiers in Physiology, 2020, vol. 11, p. -

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of countermovement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ) training on the volleyball-specific jumping ability of non-professional female volleyball players. For that purpose, 26 female volleyball players (15–32 years) were assigned to either a CMJ (20.4 ± 3.1 years, 171.0 ± 3.0 cm) or a DJ training group (22.0 ± 4.4 years, 168.2 ± 5.0 cm), ...
