Identifier	Thesis 1707
Author	Russo, Robert S., Jr
Title	Explosive exercises are not necessary for optimal physical conditioning.
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2002
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The strength and conditioning community has seen a growing number of research studies related to the effects that resistance training might have in enhancing physical performance in athletics. In an effort to determine the optimal program or method to implement when trying to enhance this performance, many studies try to manipulate several variables to isolate the most appropriate training stimulus. The purpose of this literature review is to 1) review literature on explosive exercises, characterized by maximal or near maximal rates of force production or by high acceleration to determine whether they are more effective than high force, slow movements when attempting to enhance physical performance. 2) Review the literature indicating explosive exercises are not necessary for optimal physical conditioning in sports, even in those sports that involve high accelerations. 3) Review the literature that shows explosive exercises used to simulate movement, velocity, and acceleration patterns of sport movements contradict motor learning principles. 4) Review the excessive risk of injury associated with explosive exercises. It is widely accepted that there are numerous ways an individual can enhance performance during competition by increasing muscular power, strength, and endurance through resistance training. The research at this time does not unconditionally support one methodology over another. Unfortunately, many of the methods lack efficiency, productivity, and have an excessive injury risk in both the weight room and during competition. They are often time-consuming workouts that lead to over-training and fatigue that can affect performance on the field. Having reviewed much of the research that justifies explosive exercises it appears that many of these studies have experimental design flaws, researcher bias, and results that are not shown to be statistically significant. Often when such studies are scientifically acceptable, the results are taken out of context or broadly generalized. The aim of this literature review was to examine the myths that are perpetuated by poorly designed, misinterpreted studies and show how other methods have been shown to be as effective and more importantly-safer.
