Abstract

Warm up method can be considered as a strategy for improving athlete’s performance. The purpose of this study was to provide a useful data as warm up to improve the performance of athletes, including volleyball players by increasing their jump height. In the present review study by using the following keywords included Post-Activation Potentiation, Squat Jump, Warm-up, Volleyball, Jump Height, Force Plate, and electromyography the search process was done in Google scholar, the Pubmed databases and Scientific Information database and Google scholar. In the identification stage, 387 English and 15 Persian articles related to the mentioned keywords were found. Finally, the number of  English articles reached 42 and the number of Persian articles reached 6. The results of this review-descriptive study showed in the final stages of Post-Activation Potentiation warm-up, performing high intensity squats by creating acute changes in neuromuscular system can increase in jump height of athletes including volleyball players in match and practice.

Abstract

As Squat is a popular exercise for support of lower extremity muscles in order to injury prevention this study has been hold to comprise the electromyography of vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles in three Squat techniques of man soccer players. 15 soccer players, aged 18-25 years old, who had regular exercise more than two years did open, closed and lung Squats exercise while electromyography of vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were recorded. Data analyzed by using dependent and independent T test and repeated measure ANOVA. There was not significant difference of vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles’ electromyography during getting up, going down phases and also for different squat techniques. The vastus lateralis muscle show more activity in all conditions. Though, it is recommended that vastus medialis has bold role for controlling of squat exercise, reduction of Q angle and participants’ knee varus in this study can be the reason of antithesis.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different hip joint postures on electromyographic activity of selected lower limb muscles during squat's movement. Electromyographic activity of selected lower limb muscles of 15 healthy male students was recorded while performing a squat with neutral, 15°, 30°, 45° external and internal rotation of the hip. Friedman's nonparametric test was used to compare muscle activation at different angles of the hip rotation and the Wilcoxon test was used to determine within-group differences. The results of this study showed no significant difference in the activity of Vastus medialis (p = 0.052), Vastus lateralis (p = 0.102) and tensor fasciae lata (p = 0.193) in squat between different hip joint angles, but Significant differences were observed in gluteus medius muscle activation (p = 0.001) and biceps femoris (p = 0.015) in squat between different hip joint angles. Also, the results of this study showed that gluteus medius to tensor fascia lata activation ratio was significant in squat between different hip joint angles. squat with the external hip angles can be considered as an effective method to increase gluteus medius activation and gluteus medius to the tensor fasciae latae activation ratio. On the other hand, 45 ° external and 30 ° internal hip angles can be considered as an effective method to increase the biceps femoris activation.
