Abstract
UNLABELLED: This study measured the potentiation effects of plyometric training [normalized electromyography (EMG) in triceps surae, stiffness and elastic energy utilization of the Achilles tendon] and investigated the correlations between these effects and performances [voluntary electromechanical delay (EMD) and jump height]. Twenty-one subjects were randomly assigned either to the control group (10 subjects: age 22.3+/-1.6 years) or to a training group (11 subjects: age 22.1+/-1.6 years) that performed 8 weeks of plyometric training. RESULTS: As compared with the performances before training, normalized EMG in the soleus were significantly (P
