Abstract
  • The purpose of this study was to examine the relativeeffectiveness of functional isometric squats on thedevelopment of dynamic strength, static strength and powerof college males. Ten college males volunteered for thestudy. The subjects trained two days per week for a totalof eight weeks which consisted of a two week preconditioningperiod followed by a six week functionalisometric squat training period. The test data werestatistically treated using a paired t-test and one-wayanalysis of covariance. The .05 level of significance wasselected for accepting or rejecting the null hypotheses.The results of the imposed training program revealed asignificant increase in dynamic strength. There were nosignificant increases in power between groups; however, asignificant increase in power was found within the functionalisometric and dynamic squat training groups. Theresults of this study have several implications towardsstrength training of athletes and students enrolled in aphysical education weight training activity class.
