The mission of the Leatherneck Strength and Conditioning Staff is to provide each athlete with a year-round, athletic based strength & conditioning program. The primary goals of each program are to reduce the risk of injury and increase performance in the athletes' sport(s). Between the use of two facilities with over 12,000 pounds of free weights, dumbbells, and machines the athletes are challenged daily to improve upon and maximize their speed, strength, power, agility, conditioning, and flexibility. Utilizing the Olympic and power lifts, plyometrics, speed & agility drills, strongman/strongwoman training, nutritional

For the purposes of these studies and this paper, strength training will be defined as the use of progressive resistance methods such as body weight (i.e. pushups), free weights, isotonic and isokinetic machines utilized in an attempt to increase one’s ability to exert or resist force (Cahill, 1995). Prepubescence will be defined as a child, male or female, typically no older than

For each exercise, the participants will perform three sets of ten repetitions. Although it should be noted that the participants will not be lifting their maximum weight ability each time they weight train. Starting on week one, the participants will lift forty percent of their maximum weight

One example of an exercise using a combination of several of these movements together is jumping squats with free weights. This exercise targets the lower body, core and also the upper body. The quadriceps, the hamstrings, the gluteal, the lower back and the abdominals. The back muscle act as stabilizers to keep the body in a correct balance position. In the explosion phase, hip extends in a slight adduction knee extension and ankle plantar flexion. During the landing phase, back into the squat position, all the muscle is in an eccentric position, the hip flexion with slight abduction, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion. Jumping squats with weights are just one of the extended workouts that utilize these principles. It is very important to understand the fundamental movements of major body segments in order to design and execute appropriate workout for my clients and their personal

Gymnasts can perform the stability ball pike, stability ball jackknife, slide plank, stability ball rollout, and front plank (Major, 1996). These exercises will help the gymnast be able to hold positions need for competition for a long duration of time. Gymnasts can also perform pushups, handstand holds, stand up on toe, stand toe raises, and bar dips to improve their muscular strength (Major, 1996). The exercises help improve individual muscles that will be used during the sport (Major, 1996). They also include movements that are used during the completion as well. The assistant exercises not only will help with movement, and strength, but will also help stabilize the joints (Major,

Subjects were asked to preform 1 rep of maximum weight using bench press, squat, and power clean. amount of weight each participant could finish successfully at the end of the fifth set for each exercise added up for a total number would be the measurable factor in determining any gains. The strength program consisted of a 5 day, 2 hour workouts conducted at 8:00 am each morning Monday through Friday. Lifts performed included bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, shoulder press, abdominals, squats, hip sled, hamstring raises, power hang cleans, clean and jerk, weighted pullups, lateral pull downs, seated cable rows, upright rows, hammer curls, triceps curl, and seated wall cleans. All exercises were on a daily rotation performed at 60% to 90% of subjects maximum. All training was administered and performed under the supervision of certified professional strength coaches. Compliance with attendance was mandatory and any missed sessions had to be made up the same day. Whole body compositions were determined by using a dual x-ray absorptiometer with up-to-date software. This system measures the amount of fat, fat free soft tissue (muscle) and bone in the body. Then percent body fat was calculated by dividing the amount of measured body fat by the total scanned mass excluding the
