Announcement  

With great sadness I have to announce that my father passed away at Sandro Pertini Hospital, Rome, on Wednesday, June 23 2010.

I wish to thank all those around the word who have sent messages of condolence and  expressed gratitude for his work. My father will be greatly missed by us all, but I am sure his work will continue to influence many coaches.

In the last years of his life it was his will to divulgate his work in English directly under our control so that many of the misinterpretations due to inaccuracy of translation made in the past from his Russian manuscripts and articles could be understood.

The first step of this project was the website on which we started to publish articles and manuscripts and, according to his will, the site will continue to be open until all his works have been published.

Shock training machine 

Dear Professor Verkhoshansky,

The barbell squat jumps can be substituted by Plyo swing machine? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBNVzrO1ALg) I work with

soccer and the players do not accept very well this exercise because do not have experience with weight training.

For soccer players, I must make hurdle rebound jumps in the grass or in hard floor type? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvVr-Gca9FI)

Re: Shock training machine 

Dear Marcelo Silva

in your situation the barbell squat jumps could be substituted by Plyo swing machine, but in my opinion the barbell squat jumps is more effective that Plyo swing machine to develop the explosive strength in the push up movement.

I know that soccer players don’t like weight training but they really need it.

In Italy has been found a compromise: the soccer players use the barbell squat jumps “in castello” (Technogym Multipower or Smith Machine).

The hurdle rebound jumps is e very good exercise but it is finalized more to develop the speed strength. You can use this exercise logging the total execution time of 7-10 hurdles jumps.

I must suggest you to use this exercises with hurdles more low  and “soft” that I saw in your video, because this exercise is very dangerous: I was witness of very bad accidents during its executions.
