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