Cyclic Leg Power Training 

Muscle Stiffness DeficitsTrampoline training – compliant surface necessitates greater development of stiffness (Ferris and Farley, 1997; Kerdok et al., 2002)

Some anecdotal evidence – trampolinists becoming national or WC sprinters.

Sled towing – PrePHV vs Mid‐Post PHV

Vertical and leg stiffness decrease (ES ‐0.76 and ‐2.16)

Vertical force (=) – greater (14.6%) COM displacement (Rumpf et al., 2013, In Review PES)
