Ch. 17 Speed, Agility, and Speed-Endurance Development Flashcards
speed
the skills and abilities needed to achieve high movement velocities
agility
the skills and abilities needed to explosively change movement velocities or modes
speed-endurance
the ability to maintain maximal movement velocities or repeatedly achieve maximal accelerations and velocities
special endurance
the ability to repeatedly perform maximal or near-maximal efforts in competiion-specific exercise:relief patterns or work:rest ratios
force
the product of mass and acceleration
impulse
the change in momentum resulting from a force, measured as the product of force and time
power
the rate of doing work, measured as the product of force and velocity
velocity specificity
the final movement velocity targeted when a mass is being accelerated
stretch-shortening cycle
an eccentric-concentric coupling phenomenon in which muscle-tendon complexes are rapidly and forcibly lengthened and immediately shortened in a reactive or elastic manner
complex training
in which alternating SSC tasks with heavy resistance exercises within the same session enhances their working effect
reactive ability
a characteristic of explosive strength exhibited in SSC actions that can be improved through reactive-explosive training
reaction time
relatively untrainable and correlates poorly with movement action time or performance in many explosive events
flight phase
when both legs are in the air during running
support phase
when the leg is supporting the body when running
coordinative abilities
agility
