Changes in power measurements influenced by a medicine ball ballistic training program

The main purpose of this research is to determine whether medicine ball throwing training program influences power and strength performance. 154 subjects aged 22.5 ± 4.5 to 27 participated in this study and underwent training program consisted of 8 different types of throwing exercises in duration of 10 weeks, 3 times per week. Subjects were assigned in two groups, experimental and control. Only the experimental group performed throwing exercises. All subjects were measured pre- and post-training by 12 performance tests for estimating power and strength. The results indicated no positive transformational effects regarding the majority of tests applied. Based on these findings it can be concluded that 10-week ballistic medicine ball training program, conducted 3 times per week and in duration of 60 minutes, cannot produce statistically significant effects on sprinting, jumping and throwing power neither on maximum strength.
