For decades athletes have been improving their sports performance through strength training of many varieties. It can be argued that success in most sports depends upon attainment of some threshold level for maximum strength, power and speed (Newton & Kraemer, 1994). It is the ability to express explosive strength in the field of play is one of the essential elements of elite athletic performers. Therefore, the design of resistance training programs that can result in beneficial adaptation across a variety of performance skills is a challenging undertaking, especially when dealing with well-trained athletes. In order for resistance training to enhance performance, the isometric and dynamic force related characteristics and the power developed must transfer to these skills (Harris et al., 2000).
