The impact of strength level on adaptations to combined weightlifting, plyometric, and ballistic training

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the magnitude of adaptation to integrated ballistic training is influenced by initial strength level. Such information is needed to inform resistance training guidelines for both higher‐ and lower‐level athlete populations. To this end, two groups of distinctly different strength levels (stronger: one‐repetition‐maximum (1 RM ) squat = 2.01 ± 0.15 kg·BM −1 ; weaker: 1.20 ± 0.20 kg·BM −1...
