quick powerful movement involving a muscle pre stretch to activate the stretch shortening cycle to produce stronger concentric contraction

38
Q

What happens before the explosive movement in a plyometric

A

Amortization phase

39
Q

What is the purpose of plyometrics

A

Heighten excitability of the nervous system for improved reactive ability of the neuromuscular system

40
Q

What does decreasing the amortization phase achieve

A

Increasing the intensity of the activity

41
Q

42
Q

How do you warm up for plyometrics

A

44
Q

What are some signs of fatigue for plyometric exercises

A

Prolonged foot contact
Lack of arm and leg movement
Lack of interest
Longer rest periods

45
Q

What are the mechanical characteristics of plyometric training

A

Contractile component - force
series elastic component - stability stores energy
Parallel elastic component - stability

46
Q

Compare muscle spindles and GOT’s

A

Muscle spindles - respond to stretch excite muscle

GTO - respond to stretch - relax muscle

47
Q

What controls muscle fiber elongation

A

Tensile strength - more = less stretch

sensitivity - less sensitive = less of a response

48
Q

What changes can plyometric changes elicit

A
Increased speed of the stretch reflex
Better recruitment of the motor units
Desensitization of the GTO's
Improved coordination
nervous system becomes more autonomic
49
Q

How do you dose plyometrics for volume

A

75-100 foot contacts - low intensity

200-250 - moderate intensity

50
Q

What is appropriate plyometric frequency

A

48-72 hours between training sessions

For the young keep the demand lower
