Abstract
This thesis encompassed a pilot study and five separate experiments aimed at investigating the measurement, expression and development of maximal muscle power. The initial task was to assess the validity and reliability of the developed measurement system.
Pilot Study: Reliability and validity of using a rotary digital encoder for kinematic measurement during ballistic resistance training
Experiment One: The effect of a braking device in reducing the ground impact forces inherent in maximal power training
Experiment Two: A comparison of the traditional and ballistic resistance training movements
Experiment Three: Influence of load and stretch shortening cycle on the kinematics, kinetics and muscle activation during powerful upper body movements
Experiment Four: Ballistic resistance training and the development of vertical jump performance of elite athletes
Experiment Five: Resistance training induced changes in muscle power in young and old men
