Influence of Intended Slow and Fast Eccentric Back Squat Velocity on Subsequent Countermovement Jump Performance
: Given the lack of between-condition differences, the eccentric movement velocity of moderate conditioning back squats with maximal concentric velocity exercises does not appear to influence subsequent jump performance enhancements. Thus, either conditioning activity can be used to improve subsequent jump performance. However, as performance was enhanced only at 30 s and 4 min post-intervention, the window of opportunity is narrow, and timing should be carefully considered when including such activities in pre-competition routines.
