    Does Training For the NFL-225 Improve Overall Strength In Football Players?
    (University of Hawaii - West Oahu, 2018-11) Teramoto, Landon; Romaine, Rebecca

    Introduction: Having a precise strength training plan can help prevent injuries (1). Football is one sport in which is very physically taxing and injuries often occur. With the NFL-225 training, we believe football players will add strength and have a better body composition.

    Methods: Participants worked out four days a week for 5 week time period mainly focusing mainly on the bench press and back squat.

    Results: Mean change in body mass, back squat, and bench press were all averaging in a positive weight increase.

    Conclusion: After recording 5 weeks, we concluded that on average, most of the participants significantly increased in strength but it could not be determined if weight change was due to muscle gain or fat loss.

    • Six subjects, three well-conditioned and three poorly conditioned, performed the Harvard Step Test. The well-conditioned subjects had a quicker heart rate recovery of 27 bpm after exercising compared to the poorly-conditioned subjects heart rate recovery of 20 bpm
    • The well-conditioned subjects were physically fit and were able to regulate blood pressure and pulse after exercise better than the poorly-conditioned subjects
    • Cardiovascular health is important because it can indicate the presence of cardiovascular diseases. Testing blood pressure and pulse after exercise in well-conditioned and poorly-conditioned subjects indicate the health advantages and differences seen in cardiovascular health based on lifestyle choices and habits.
