Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will use a parallel, randomized group design. Two groups will be randomly formed with one group comprising an eccentric only resistance training condition (experimental control) and the other comprising an eccentric combined with aquatic-based plyometrics condition (experimental). All subjects, regardless of group, will train on a multiple-joint eccentric machine one time per week for 7 weeks. The combined group will also perform an aquatic-based exercise session one time (on a separate day from the eccentric training) per week. Muscle function will be assessed via a battery of tests including jumps, sprints, and isometric and eccentric maximal strength.
