Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the results of a maximal jump assessment across a ten-week period of lower extremity power-focused resistance training. The aim of the study was to evaluate an undulating velocity-based training (VBT) program for the barbell back squat compound movement and how it would affect maximal counter-movement jump (CMJ) height. VBT equipment was used to track variables such as mean velocity, mean power, and peak power for the barbell back squat movement for one set per week of the program. The main findings inferred that the results of the VBT program had a positive affect on the lower extremity power production capabilities in the form of increased jump height measurements. Results displayed that the undulating program was also viewed as suitable for athletes training in-season.
