I am in need of peer reviewed research on overspeed training and in particular, any training protocols which may have been used for it (reps/sets/rest/frequency) etc etc…
I have searched but can not really find any so far. If anyone has any or links to any please put them up here…
thanks
Here’s one for starters.

Haven’t got any that specify reps/sets etc. although I haven’t searched for thesis(es) on the subject. Is the information for your own thesis?
The best I can do is give you:
Majdell and Alexander, Journal of Human Movement Studies, 1991, 21, 19-39 which is a study comparing protocols of sprint training, overspeed training, and just to be sadistic, overspeed with a weight jacket.
Antti Mero and Paavo Komi, International Journal of Sport Biomechanics, 1985, 1, 240-252 which is a study on the forces, force angles, contact times etc.
I’ll do a thesis search on the weekend if you want.
Thanks Mike and Jeremy…
Yes, my thesis is on Suspension training (overspeed concept for developing explosive power and take off velocity)
I am currently writing an article for the Strength and conditioning research on the subject.
Because of the extreme lack of research on suspension training, I need to use protocols from overspeed as possible practical applications of the method.
But thats great so far, i didnt have all 3 before. Thanks a lot.

may help, its from ISBS 2006; Birklbauer et al, “Kinematics of Different Assisted…”
Several methods, towing devices, force compared to body weight etc.
I have links for a couple more articles but they do not go into any detail about methodology as the assisted part was not the focus with them referring to the studies already mentioned in this thread [they are all on the same general site above if you want to look]

Mike do we have a full reference for the last one…
Thanks Russ, nice article.
Thanks Mike and Jeremy…

I’m not sure if this is of any help but for you article or thesis you may want to predict how suspension training (i.e. lighter load = more explosion) could benefit athletic performance. If so, have a look at:
Hakkinen, Acta Physiol Scand 1985, 125, 587-600 for the effect of explosive training on force- and relaxation time (especially at low loads) and compare it to;
Hakkinen, Acta Physiol Scand 1985, 125, 573-585 on the same effect from strength training (or lack of it) on force- and relaxation time.
I’ll upload a page (with charts) on to Wiki this weekend summarising it
Wonderful person you are!!!! Thanks a lot.

Nick I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to collect these articles. In the explosive training protocol Hakkinen used exercises such as: Countermovement jump with loaded barbell (10-60% of 1RM), maximal standing five jump, maximal five-hurdle jump, maximal drop jump from 30-60cm, and…maximal drop jump from 30-40cm with an elastic band to aid in the rebound velocity (assisted rebound).
I thought I would just attach some information that might be of interest to you from the study.
thanks a lot ! I did try but couldn’t get them at all. Any database i haev access to couldn’t go back to 1985 with that journal. But ill trust your word about the articles…so thanks agian..
Hey,
As i got some new articles that i didnt have before from asking you guys, i will ask again….
I now need an article or 2, again peer reviewed and all that…explaining neural adaptations to power training, why its important etc etc…
And, preferably not in hard to understand language…
Thanks all!
“Neural Adaptations with Sport-specific Resistance Training in Highly Skilled Athletes”

Judge, Moreau, Burke
neural adaptations to power training[/i]…it is posted in full, 3rd one down once you get past “scholarly article” results] anyway, its not “easy” but if you skip to about the 4th page and read the discussion, it talks about how much value inducing a neural change may have (and relative to their methods if they feel it was successful…it was looking at a group of throwers so there is a lot of talk of torque etc.) and that seems to be sort of a “standard” as other search results often involve that particular article and there are a lot of referenced works as well
http://www.athleticscoaching.ca/UserFiles/File/Sport Science/…/Strength/…/Young Neural Activation in Power Events…
talks about how inducing more activation of neural pathways during warm up may prove helpful for competition so not much but it is easy to understand and has a bit of language explained, that is on about the 5th page of search results [athleticscoaching.ca to “sport science” tab to “strength” and then pick what you need]
The over riding issue in finding this information seems to be that they know it, neural adaptation etc. exists but trying to find something that is not either way too simple or so complex that “laymen” can’t understand it is tough. (I fall into the latter group)

You’ll find some really down to earth information in “Strength and Power in Sport” by P.V.Komi , Blackwell Science (pub). It’s a textbook. It’s got the best information out there by some great authors.
Will chase up some journal articles today.
If you want to do a google search try “google scholar”.

These articles are reviews. They do provide a good foundation from which to make assumptions for the effect that you are trying/going to get from suspension training. You should get them for your thesis.
Crewther et al. 2006 Sports Medicine 36(1):65-78 “Possible stimuli for strength and power adaptation”

Let me know if you’ve got the text book “Strength and Power in Sport”. If you don’t I’ve copied three chapters “Neural adaptation to strength training” by Digby G. Sale, “Time course of adaptations during strength and power training” by Toshio Moritani, and “Training for Power Events” by Dietmar Schmidbleicher. I’ll put these in the mail tomorrow with the Hakkinen articles. 😉
Strength and power training in sport? I have that book…
Thanks a lot both of you, those articles should be more than enough. You are better than ebsco search for me! lol
