29
What does strength training enhance?
Neural drive
30
What is an enhanced neural drive related to?
Increases in both muscular force production & the rate of force production
31
What does plyometric training increase
The excitability of high-threshold motor units, which increases neural drive

What should trainings aimed to improve SSC performance involve?
- Skillful, multi-joint movements that transmit forces through the kinetic chain & exploit elastic-reflexive mechanisms
36
What should trainings aimed to improve SSC performance be structured around?
Brief work bouts or clusters separated by frequent rest pauses to manage fatigue & emphasize work quality & technique
