Squat jump (SJ), counter movement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ) were performed to assess the effects of the training protocols 98 athletes (100 & 200m and 100m & 110m hurdles) voluntarily took part in this study, 51 males (52%) and 47 females (48%), 17.91 ± 1.42 years old, and 5.16 ± 2.56 years of training experience. The participants were randomly assigned to four different groups according to the frequency and the timing of the stimulation. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the effects of every training program on jump height. Our findings suggest that compared to control (Plyometrics (PT) only), the combination of 150Hz EMS + PT simultaneously combined in an 8 week (2days/week) training program, we could observe significant jump height improvements in the different types...

They were aged 17.16 ± years and had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 20.37 ± 2.68. The sample was randomized into a control group and three experimental groups with a different frecuency and different order application of PT and NM ES. It measured the time at the first 20m, and at 73 m, and the last 27 m ant the time at 100 m.l. The measures were carried out in three different moments: before the training (pre), after six weeks of training (post) and after two weeks of detraining (descanso). Improvement were obtained in the simultaneous group (plyometric jump were performed through the passage current). It was concluded that the training with PT and NM ES must be different about the expression strength that will be training. To improve the speed at 100 m.l a complement ...

The study consisted on the application of an electrostimulation protocol and plyometric jumps to four groups of young athletes (Control, G II, G III and G IV). Eighty-four young athletes took part in the study (40 girls and 44 boys). All of them were sprinters (100 and 200 meters dash, and 100 and 110 hurdles meters), their mean age, weight and height being 15.9±1.4 years old, 58.53±8.05 kg, and 1.68±0.07 m, respectively. After 8 weeks of training, a 30-meter sprint launched test -time being measured by photoelectric cells - and a triple jump test from static position were completed. Repeated measures ANCOVA were used. The only group that improved significantly in the speed test (P<0.001) relative to the control group was G IV. In the triple jump test, improvements were significant, (P<0.05) and (P<0.01), in G I...

Besides, the incidence of this injuries type has increased in an unconscionable way within the last decade caused principally by the impact of amateur sports over the society. It´s common among athletes who play racket sports, athletic, volleyball and football, being one of the most frequently injuried tendons in human beings bodies in spite its strength. This aim of this paper is to present a list of several Haglund disease cases that have been treated by conservative treatment, evaluating the results after 10 sessions by VISA-A scale that evaluates pain, function and sports activity in people suffering of Achilles tendinopathy. Methodology: The study use the clinical´s histories from 5 cases conducted on 5 patients in Spain during 2010 to 2015. The 5 cases were selected from a total of 42 conservative treatment cases done over Achilles tendon. The physiotherapy protocol has...
