Brief Summary

The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of interval session running at high intensity with 1% or 10% gradient on the height of the drop jump. The cinematic variables concentric phase, eccentric and contact time were compared after the running session in both conditions in order to explain possible changes in the jump performance. The investigators theorize that the lower eccentric overload in the running to 10% inclination promotes higher deleterious effect on power performance of the lower limbs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Kinematic of Height Jump

  the same group (N=25) of subjects performed the experimental procedure in the last three sessions aiming to achieve the highest performance in all three conditions

  up to 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Kinematic of Concentric Phase

  up to 1 month

• Kinematic of Excentric Phase

  up to 1 month

• Kinematic of Contact Time

  up to 1 month

Study Arms (3)

Interval Training at 1% incline

EXPERIMENTAL

Procedure: Initial Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm), Six Stimulus of High Intensity Interval Training at 1% incline, Final Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm)

Other: Interval Training at 1% incline

Interval Training at 10% incline

EXPERIMENTAL

Procedure: Initial Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm), Six Stimulus of High Intensity Interval Training at 10% incline, Final Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm)

Other: Interval Training at 10% incline

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Procedure: Initial Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm), 20 min Rest, Final Drop Jump (20;30;40 cm)

Interventions

Interval Training at 1% incline OTHER

Six stimuli were performed to exhaustion. The vertical drop jump strategy (height and kinematics) served to establish the magnitude of the concurrent effect
