Interventions
Nordic Hamstring Exercise training lasts 4 weeks, during which the participant performs 3 sets, each consisting of 3 repetitions of the NHE. After each set, a 2-minute passive rest period follows, during which the participant recovers. In the first week, the participant trains under the supervision of the instructor, while in the following three weeks the exercises are performed at home after prior instruction.
The intervention lasts 4 weeks, during which participants train three times per week. The program consists of single-leg and double-leg jumps, vertical jumps, lateral jumps, and forward jumps, all performed on a stable surface. A principle of progressive overload is applied, with gradual increases in training intensity, volume, and jump height. The progression begins with lower intensity exercises, single-joint movements, and less complex techniques, and advances to higher intensity exercises, multi-joint movements, and more complex techniques.
The intervention lasts 4 weeks, with participants training three times per week. The program focuses on improving dynamic stability and incorporates the use of BOSU equipment. Exercises include multitask movements performed on unstable surfaces as well as exercises with eyes closed. During the first week, exercises are performed on a stable surface to improve balance while standing on one leg with eyes open and closed. In the following weeks, exercises on unstable surfaces are introduced, emphasizing the maintenance of proper posture on either one or both legs during multitask activities. In the third week, dynamic exercises on unstable surfaces are added, such as single-leg squats. In the final week, jumps and hops are incorporated. To further increase difficulty, additional load is introduced in the form of medicine balls weighing between 2 and 8 kilograms.
uses a high-intensity electromagnetic field (28 kT/s). The stimulus, induced by a coil placed in the applicator, generates depolarization of neuromuscular tissue
