ICP FInal (Exam 3 Cards) Flashcards
Quantitative Measures
P = F * D/T or Power = Force * Distance/ Time
Mechanical model of Plyos
Elastic Energy is stored throughout the eccentric action, then released by concentric action
Series Elastic Component (SEC)
The workhorse, when stretched this stores elastic energy that increases the force produced. The tendons that are in series with the muscle.
Contractile Component (CC)
Actin/Myosin/Cross bridges, primary source of muscle force during concentric muscle action
What are the 4 components of the Parallel Elastic Component?
Perimysium, Epimysium, Endomysium, and Sarcolemma
What does the Parallel Elastic Component (PEC) do?
Exert a passive force with an unstimulated muscle stretch
If the concentric phase does not occur immediately or if the ECC phase is too long or the ROM is too great, what happens?
The stored Energy dissipates and lost to heat
The change in force-velocity characteristics of the muscle’s contractile components caused by stretch
Potentiation
Involuntary response to an external stimulus stretches the muscle
Stretch Reflex
Intrafusal muscle fibers that react to stretch, cause reflexive contraction, and response potentiates the activity of agonist muscles causing increase of force produced
Muscle Spindles
When extrafusal muscle spindals contract, what do they do?
Muscle spindles are unloaded, dorsal and ventral horn reflexes.
Reflextivity increases what?
Spindle Stimulation
According to Neurophysiological model, if the concentric action does not occur immediately or the ROM is too great
The stretch reflex is negated
A combination of the mechanical and neurophysiological model split into 3 phases: Eccentric -> Ammortization -> Concentric
Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
The concentric phase is actually the weakest form of muscle contraction, EXCEPT during plyos due to what?
The stretch reflex
Stretch of the Agonist, Elastic E is stored in the SEC and muscle spindles are stimulated
Eccentric Phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
Pause between Phase 1 and 2, Type 1a afferent neurons synapse with a motor neurons and those a motor neurons transmit signals to agonist muscle group
Ammortization phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
Shortening of the Agonist, Elastic energy is released from the SEC, a motor neurons stimulates the agonist muscle group
Concentric phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
FT 2b is recruited at what % intensity?
30-80%
2a and 2b are recruited at what % intensity?
80%
Clinical Guidelines for Plyo programming
Patient Education, Intensity/Volume, Age, Recovery, Abilities, Periodization Progression (Time-Based/Criterion-Based Healing Rehab)
DOMS for Plyos
Increased soreness 7-10 days after initiation, 80% max effort to stimulate the IIa and IIb FT fibers, ECC load 10-40% greater than concentric load, plyos cause microtrauma to the SEC and release hydroxypropoline (a major component of fibrillar collagen of all types)
Amount of stress placed on the tissue, controlled by the exercise/drill (factors include height, distance, and load)
Intensity of Plyos
Reps/Sets
