Publication: “Peak Power, Force and Velocity During Jump Squats in Professional Rugby Players”
Published September 22, 2011
A few weeks ago we found out that our paper with the title ”Peak Power, Force and Velocity During Jump Squats in Professional Rugby Players” was accepted for publication in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (JSCR).
We had to go through 3 reviews, mainly due to the reviewers continuously not being happy with the sample size. Fortunately, through some further detail added (especially in the statistics portion where one of the primary authors performed some impressive skills that were in all honesty way over my head), we were able to demonstrate that the sample size was statistically appropriate/significant, and more than matched -if not improved upon- previous published research of a similar nature (especially given the fact our sample consisted of highly trained professional athletes).
Although the below pdf is still the “proof-read” version sent to us by JCSR (there are a few grammatical and administrative alterations left to be made) getting the final copy will take a while so I decided to post the study early for anyone interested as the main content will stay the same.
In addition, I have also attached a pdf of my undergraduate dissertation which was what the publication study was based on. The raw data is the same but there are a few different angles of discussion/focus (along with some different references) within this paper which may be of additional interest.
Finally, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who was involved with this paper, as well as all who sent in their congratulations and good wishes over the last few weeks. Thoughts/comments/critical review are of course always welcome, I hope you find the papers to be of use!
