Effects of ballistic training on preseason preparation of elite volleyball players
Article Abstract:
A study of 16 male volleyball players from Division I schools of the National Collegiate Athletic Association indicates that ballistic training can significantly improve athletic jumping ability. Jumping ability increased at 5.9% and 6.3% for standing and approach jumps, respectively. The strength at slow velocities of the athletes did not increase over the test period, and results may have been determined because fast velocity strength and explosive strength were enhanced.

Metabolic and perceptual responses during Spinning Cycle Exercise
Article Abstract:
An investigation was conducted to compare metabolic and perceptual responses between exercise performed at constant intensity (CON) and with a Spinning protocol of variable intensity (VAR). The result showed that an exercise regimen in which intensity varies exerts no added effect on metabolic and perceptual responses during exercise as long as the average intensity is kept the same.
