Kettlebell Training Measured Across Power and Performance

NCT02731625 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance benefits of supplementing Army standard Physical Readiness Training (PRT) with a defined kettlebell (KB) deadlift and swing training program as compared to standalone PRT. Power and performance will be measured on horizontal (broad) and vertical jumps, 40 yard sprint, 60 yard shuttle, and the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). It is hypothesized that the unique force distributions of kettlebell training will promote improved power, particularly across the horizontal plane, when compared to standalone Army PRT. Findings will potentially provide insight as to how Army units can effectively utilize kettlebells to further diversify their training programs.
