Case Study on Olympic Lifts and Vertical Jumping with the NV Rack

Strength and conditioning coaches, listen up! If you're looking for a way to enhance the performance of your high school football athletes, you might want to consider incorporating the NV Rack into your training program. A recent case study found that using the NV Rack during Olympic lifting training can significantly improve an athlete's 1 rep max power clean, peak velocity of a power clean, and vertical jump.

The study, which was conducted with 20 male high school football athletes, utilized a pre- and post-test design to evaluate the athletes' performance. Ten athletes used the NV Rack during their Olympic lifting sessions 2x a week, while the other 10 athletes trained with just free weights during their sessions 2x a week. The results speak for themselves.

At the end of the 6-week training program, the athletes who used the NV Rack increased their 1 rep max power clean by an average of 31.2lbs, while the athletes who did not use the NV Rack increased their 1 rep max by only 14.6lbs on average. Additionally, the athletes who used the NV Rack increased their average peak velocity of a power clean by 0.32 m/s, compared to just 0.12 m/s for the athletes who did not use the NV Rack. Finally, the athletes who used the NV Rack during the training program increased their vertical jump by an average of 0.9 inches, while the other athletes increased their vertical jump by only 0.4 inches on average.

What does this mean for strength and conditioning coaches? It means that incorporating the NV Rack into your training program could be a valuable tool for improving your athletes' performance in all sports. By utilizing the NV Rack during Olympic lifting training, you can help your athletes increase their 1 rep max power clean, peak velocity of a power clean, and vertical jump significantly more than those who train with just free weights.

So why wait? If you're looking to take your high school athletes to the next level, consider adding the NV Rack to your training program. Not only will it help your athletes improve their performance on the field, but it could also give you a competitive edge over other teams. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your athletes' training and help them reach their full potential.

Title: The Impact of NV Rack Training on High School Football Athletes' Performance

Overview: This case study investigates the effect of NV Rack training on the performance of high school football athletes. The study was conducted with 20 male athletes who tested their 1 rep max power clean at the beginning and end of a 6-week training program. The athletes were divided into two groups, with 10 athletes using the NV Rack during their olympic lifting sessions and the other 10 using only free weights.

Methods: The study utilized a pre- and post-test design to evaluate the athletes' performance. The athletes' 1 rep max power clean, peak velocity, and vertical jump were measured before and after the 6-week training program. The 10 athletes who used the NV Rack trained with it attached to their free weights during their olympic lifting sessions 2x a week, while the other 10 athletes trained with just free weights during their sessions 2x a week.

Results: At the end of the 6-week training program, the 10 athletes who used the NV Rack increased their 1 rep max power clean by 31.2lbs on average, while the 10 athletes who did not use the NV Rack increased their 1 rep max by 14.6lbs on average. This indicates that using the NV Rack during olympic lifting training can increase an athlete's 1 rep max power clean by 113% more than training with just free weights.

Additionally, the study also tracked barrel speed and measured peak velocity. The 10 athletes who used the NV Rack increased their average peak velocity of a power clean by 0.32 m/s, while the 10 athletes who did not use the NV Rack increased their average peak velocity by only 0.12m/s. This indicates that using the NV Rack during olympic lifting training can increase an athlete's peak velocity of a power clean by 166% more than training with just free weights.

Furthermore, the study evaluated the impact of using the NV Rack on vertical jump. The 10 athletes who used the NV Rack during the training program increased their vertical jump by an average of 0.9 inches, while the other 10 athletes who did not use the NV Rack increased their vertical jump by only 0.4 inches on average. This indicates that using the NV Rack for olympic lifting training can increase an athlete's vertical jump by 125% more than training with just free weights.
