Chapter 11

Question 1

Reactive training

Answer 1

Includes plyometrics. Exercises that use quick powerful movements. Box jumps, broad jumps, etc. Enhances neuromuscular efficiency and the rate of force production(i.e. Makes a person more powerful)

Question 2

Rate of force production

Answer 2

Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a

minimal amount of time.

Question 3

3 Phases of Reactive Training

Answer 3

eccentric (loading phase)
amortization phase
concentric (unloading phase)

Question 4

Reactive training does what 3 things

Answer 4

enhances muscle spindle activity
desensitizes the GTO
enhances neuromuscular efficiency

Question 5

Amortization Phase

Answer 5

the transition phase

muscle must switch from overcoming force to imparting force in the intended direction

Question 6

Eccentric Phase

Answer 6

increases muscle spindle activity by prestretching the muscle before activation

Question 7

Concentric Phase

Answer 7

unloading phase

immediately after amortization and involves contraction

Question 8

Benefit of shorter transition phase

Answer 8

a more powerful response

Question 9

Plyo stabilization exercises

Answer 9

squat jump with stabilization, box jump up with stabilization, box jump-down with stabilization, multiplanar jump with stabilization.

Question 10

Plyo strength exercises

Answer 10

squat jump, tuck jump, butt kick, power step-up

Question 11

Plyo power exercises

Answer 11

Ice skaters, single-leg power step-up, proprioceptive

plyometrics
