"How strong is strong enough?" Mike Stone and Gavin Moir
"Evidence from a number of different types of research as well as observational data indicates that maximum strength is strongly related to sports performances that rely on speed and power. Although explaining performance in strength/power sports is a multi-factorial problem there is little doubt that maximum strength is a key component. Thus, it may be stated 'you are never too strong'."

"Is Olympic lifting relevant to developing athletic power?" Luke Behncke
"Olympic Lifts are distinct and separate skills, also encompassing distinct and separate abilities from those
experienced in sport. Therefore, not only are Olympic Lifting abilities non transferable and distinct from sporting motor skills, but also the subsequent motor programs they produce."

"The term plyometrics can be used to describe any exercise that allows the athletes to take advantage of the
stretch-shortening cycle to produce an explosive movement."

"Power development" C. Robberds
"The optimal training resistance method for developing fast force production is widely debated by researchers.
In light of this controversy, a review on the subject is appropriate."

"The use of medicine balls for speed and power
development" A. Faccioni
"A training modality that ... has just started to make a revival is the use of medicine balls to transfer
strength gains to speed and power movements."

"Training for speed strength" Denis Knowles
"An outline of speed strength development, looking at traditional weight training methods, time controlled
speed strength development and plyometrics."

"Vertical jump ability of elite volleyball players
compared to elite athletes in other team sports" S. Kroon
"Overall the literature suggests that the differences in V.J. ability exhibited may reflect the highly
specific nature of different jumping styles and techniques, which make certain jumping techniques specific to some
sports and activities and not to others."
