| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three different resistance levels ofusing rubber bands during a warm up protocol on vertical jump performance. Quasiexperimental design was used in this study. Seventeen recreationally active males agedbetween 20 to 25 years old were randomly selected. The participants underwent foursessions consisted of (a) familiarization warm up, (b) warm up with orange color rubber band (highlevel of resistance), (c) warm up with blue color rubber band (medium level of resistance) and (d)warm up with green color rubber band (lower level of resistance). At the end of every session, theparticipants performed the squat jump on the force plate. The data on force, power and height ofjump were collected and analyzed. Repeated Measure One- way ANOVA was utilized for data analysis.The force result indicated that the mean force(N) obtained for blue rubber band (M = 1532; SD = 251) was higher than green (M = 1507; SD =268) and orange rubber band (M = 1511; SD = 264). In term of power (W), the mean power achievedfor orange rubber band (M = 3384; SD = 459) was higher than green (M = 3296; SD = 444) and bluerubber band (M = 3256; SD = 455). Next, height of jump (cm), the mean height of jump for blue (M =37.86; SD = 4.87) was higher than green (M = 36.34; SD=5.59) and orange rubber band (M = 36.59;SD = 5.49). However, ANOVA result indicated no significant difference between the different colors(difficulty levels) of rubber bands used on force [F(2,14) = 0.544; p?0.05]. There werealso no significant differences found between the levels of resistance on the power[F(2,14) = 3.656; p?0.05] and height of jump [F(2,14) = 0.988; p?0.05]. In conclusion,the data revealed that the highest power was recorded when the highest resistance was applied inwarm up. But in term of force and jump height, moderate resistance will produce theoptimal force and height jump. In implication, the moderate and high resistant rubber bandscould be used to improve vertical jump performance. |
