Brief Summary

Investigation of power and speed in relation to the increasing instability in a group of untrained athletes and a group of expert athletes. In this way, the effectiveness of unstable training for different types of athletes can be tested. Our hypothesis is that as instability increases there is a gradual decrease in power and speed of execution, but not too relevant in the expert group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Power

  Analysis of the power exercised in the execution of each exercise It was measured with a linear encoder.

  1 month

• Execution Speed

  Analysis of the speed exercised in the execution of each exercise It was measured with a linear encoder.

  1 month

Study Arms (2)

Trained

EXPERIMENTAL

Athletes who had at least 2 years of continuous strength training experience, and at least 6 months of training with unstable situations and device

Behavioral: Power and Speed

Untrained

EXPERIMENTAL

Athletes who had at least 2 years of continuous strength training experience, but no training experience with unstable situations and devices

Behavioral: Power and Speed

Interventions

Power and Speed BEHAVIORAL

Analysis of the power and speed of execution in 6 conditions of increasing instability Situation 1 is stable and basic execution. Condition 6 is the most unstable. The participants performed 2 series of 3 repetitions in each of the situations. All the exercises were executed on the same day.

Trained; Untrained
