The Effects of Training Techniques on Improving the Vertical Jump of Male Collegiate Volleyball Players
No full textThis synthesis critically examined the effectiveness of various training methods—plyometric, ballistic, and repeated sprint training (RST)—on vertical jump performance in male collegiate volleyball players. A total of twelve peer-reviewed studies were selected through a systematic literature search using databases such as SPORTDiscus, Academic Search Complete, and MEDLINE, focusing on full-text, peer-reviewed publications from 1999 to 2024. Findings consistently revealed that plyometric training, especially when combined with dynamic stretching, significantly enhances vertical jump height by improving neuromuscular readiness and stretch-shortening cycle efficiency. Ballistic training, including Olympic-style lifts and jump squats, demonstrated improvements in power output and muscle activation. RST provided dual benefits by enhancing both explosive performance and aerobic capacity. Morphological factors, particularly quadriceps cross-sectional area and fascicle length, were identified as strong predictors of jump ability, while neuromuscular efficiency—measured via EMG—further influenced performance outcomes. Practical implications suggest that a multifaceted training regimen incorporating dynamic plyometrics, ballistic exercises, and RST may offer the most effective approach to improving vertical jump height. Limitations in existing literature include small sample sizes and short intervention periods, pointing to the need for longitudinal, large-scale studies with integrated biomechanical and psychological assessments.Cathy Houston-Wilso

The Use of Assistive Technology on the Social Inclusion and Physical Engagement of Students with Disabilities in Physical Education
No full textThe purpose of this synthesis project is to review the literature on the use of assistive technology on the social inclusion and physical engagement of students with disabilities in physical education. The three main questions that guided this inquiry included: What is the impact of assistive technology on enhancing social inclusion and participation rates of students with disabilities in physical education, what are teachers’ perceptions of using assistive technology in physical education for students with disabilities, and what are barriers that impact the use of assistive technology in physical education? The results of this review of literature revealed that assistive technology enhances social inclusion and physical engagement of students with disabilities in physical education. Trainings for students, teachers, and parents is important, as many lack knowledge and comfortability with using these tools. In addition, students reported increase confidence, motivation, independence and social interaction with their peers when using assistive technology. Findings from this literature review correspond with previous research, strengthening the evidence that assistive technology positively impacts students with disabilities in physical education. Results are similar from other studies promoting inclusion, confidence and participation for all students. Therefore, with the right support, knowledge and resources, challenges can be overcome, and assistive technology can be used in physical education settings to help promote inclusion and increase engagement for students with disabilities and their fellow peers.Cathy Houston-Wilso
