Abstract

Auxotonic training unexplained on isotonic and isometric muscular contraction combination to develop strength and power gain. The study aimed to investigate muscle strength and power changes of professional young volleyball players on the auxotonic training effect. Volleyball players divided in AUT (auxotonic group: 16.32 y, 1.72 m, 63.63 kg) trained over 8 week and per week 2 day performing isotonic + isometric contraction combination periodization and IKT (isokinetic group: 16.23 y, 1.69 m, 60.22 kg) performed only isokinetic contraction periodization. The linear muscle strength and power processes of training periodization preferred for maximize performance. The strength changes of this study resulted on AUT and IKT for 1RM strength test and activforce isometric muscular strength adaptation test were similar, however, AUT obtained high improvement power performance (p < .05). Auxotonic training developed on strength and power for AUT. Additionally, showing of comparison between AUT and IKT concluded CMJ (90°) ES = 1.09 very large, vertical jump ES = 1.31 very large and handgrip right ES = 0.05 small effect size. Based on the results we obtained, current auxotonic contraction was determined on resistance training applied to young volleyball players effective in strength and power development. Auxotonic training performed on young volleyball players will bring a perspective to the coaches and athletes work in this field as a resistance training model. The auxotonic training strategy for long term performance changes on outcomes of using aimed potential muscle isotonic + isometric contraction combination may be effective maximize strength and power performance.
