Answer 6

48-72 hours

Question 7

Forces imparted on the body when it contacts the ground after jumping

Answer 7

Ground reaction force

Question 8

Shorter reaction times during the amortization may help reduce what?

Answer 8

Tissue overload

Question 9

Characteristics of plyometric-stabilization exercises

Answer 9

Little joint motion, hold landing for 3-5 sec, adjust posture

Question 10

Plyometric training is also referred to as

Answer 10

reactive training

Question 11

Why is plyometric training important?

Answer 11

Trains movement patterns with correct form at speeds that encourage decreased reaction time

Question 12

If an individual spends more time in the amortization phase of integrated performance paradigm, what happens to their power output?

Answer 12

It decreases

Question 13

Uses the entire muscle action and contraction-velocity spectrums

Answer 13

Plyometric power training

Question 14

What type of contraction do quick, powerful movement, such as those found during reactive training, involve first?

Answer 14

Eccentric contraction

Question 15

In sprinting, refers to the alignment of the rear leg and pelvic

Answer 15

Backside mechanics

Question 16

Ability to reach and change body position with maximal rate of force production, in all planes of motion and from all body positions, during dynamic activity

Answer 16

Quickness

Question 17

Number of strides take in a given amount of time (or distance)

Answer 17

Stride rate

Question 18

Ability to quickly start (accelerate), stop (decelerate/stabilize) and change direction in response to a signal/stimuli while maintaining postural control

Answer 18

Agility

Question 19

Distance covered with each stride during the gate cycle

Answer 19

Stride length

Question 20

In sprinting, refers to alignment of the lead leg and pelvis
