Chapter 11 (plyometric) Flashcards
\_\_\_\_ is a form of exercise that uses explosive movements such as bounding, hopping, and jumping to develop muscular power. A. Plyometric training B. High intensity training C. Hypopressive exercise D. Vacuum exercise
A
Which of the following is a form of training in which an individual reacts to the ground surface in such a way that he or she develops larger than normal ground forces that can be used to project the body with a greater velocity or speed of movement? A. Vacuum exercise B. High intensity training C. Hypopressive exercise D. Plyometric training
D
Identify an alternative name for plyometric training. A. Integrated training B. Functional training C. Reactive training D. Stabilization training
C
The rate of force production relates to the ability of muscles to:
A. exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time.
B. produce a concentric contraction after an eccentric muscle action.
C. release energy in a controlled manner.
D. decrease the reaction time of the muscle action spectrum.
A
The \_\_\_\_\_ states that to move with precision, forces must be loaded, stabilized, and then unloaded or accelerated. A. Bender-Gestalt approach B. integrated performance paradigm C. continuous performance theory D. Brown-Peterson procedure
B
The first stage of a plyometric movement can be classified as the \_\_\_\_\_. A. concentric phase B. amortization phase C. eccentric phase D. continuum phase
C
The \_\_\_\_\_ has also been called the deceleration, loading, yielding, counter movement, or cocking phase. A. concentric phase B. eccentric phase C. amortization phase D. continuum phase
B
The \_\_\_\_\_ phase increases muscle spindle activity by prestretching a muscle before activation. A. concentric B. amortization C. eccentric D. continuum
C
Potential energy is stored in the elastic components of a muscle during the \_\_\_\_\_ of plyometric training much like stretching a rubber band. A. concentric phase B. amortization phase C. continuum phase D. eccentric phase
D
The \_\_\_\_\_ involves dynamic stabilization and is the time between the end of the loading or deceleration phase and the initiation of the unloading or force production phase. A. amortization phase B. concentric phase C. eccentric phase D. continuum phase
A
\_\_\_\_\_ exercises use the stimulation of the body’s proprioceptive mechanism and elastic properties to generate maximal force output in the minimal amount of time. A. Calisthenic B. Hypopressive C. Kegel D. Plyometric
D
Which of the following is true of plyometric training?
A. Plyometric training is designed to assist individuals with specific chronic diseases.
B. Plyometric exercises are also known as isometric exercises.
C. The four distinct phases of plyometric training include the loading phase, the transition phase, the unloading phase, and the continuum phase.
D. The ultimate goal of plyometric training is to decrease the reaction time of muscle action.
D
In plyometric training, the speed of muscular exertion is limited by \_\_\_\_\_ coordination. A. cardiovascular B. neuromuscular C. lymphatic D. integumentary
B
Plyometric training improves neuromuscular efficiency and improves the range of speed set by the \_\_\_\_\_. A. enteric nervous system B. sympathetic nervous system C. central nervous system D. autonomic nervous system
C
Assigning too-advanced exercises to a client who does not have the ability to perform them correctly is likely to lead to \_\_\_\_\_. A. an increased rate of force production B. concentric muscle action C. increased motor unit synchronization D. synergistic dominance
D
Exercises help establish optimal landing mechanics in the \_\_\_\_\_ level of plyometric training. A. stabilization B. strength C. acceleration D. modification
A
A squat jump with stabilization exercise requires a client to hold the landing position for about \_\_\_\_\_. A. 1–2 seconds B. 6–7 seconds C. 8–10 seconds D. 3–5 seconds
D
When an individual attempts squat jump with stabilization, he or she is required to:
A. land with the ankles, knees, and hips flexed and pointed straight ahead.
B. ensure that the legs are offset throughout the jumping phases of takeoff and landing.
C. land softly on the ground to ensure proper force transmission through the tissues of the body.
D. ensure that the knees stay in line with the toes, both before jumping and on landing.
