PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE TECHNIQE Flashcards
THE GAINS IN POWER (FORCE AND VELOCITY) ACHIEVED THROUGH PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE ARE A FUNCTION OF:
(1) ENERGY STORED IN THE TENDON AND MUSCLE
(2) STIMULATION OF THE MUSCLE CELL
TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF STORED ENERGY THAT CAN BE USED TO ENHANCE THE POWER OF THE CONCENTRIC ACTION:
(1) THE AMORTIZATION PERIOD SHOULD BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE
(2) THE ECCENTRIC ACTION SHOULD E PERFORMED BEFORE THE CONCENTRIC ACTION
HOW MUCH SHOULD AN ATHLETE’S SQUAT BE TO PERFORM LOWER BODY PLYOMETRICS?
1.5 TIMES HIS/HER BODY WEIGHT
HOW LONG SHOULD AN ATHLETE BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN BALANCE IN A SINGLE-LEG HALF-SQUAT TEST IN ORDER TO DO ADVANCED PLYOMETRIC TRAINING?
30 SEC
ATHLETES WEIGHING OVER 220 POUNDS SHOULD NOT PERFORM DEPTH JUMPS FROM HEIGHTS GREATER THAN WHAT HEIGHT?
18 IN
EXAGGERATED FORM OF RECIPROCAL UPPER- AND LOWER- EXTREMITY MOVEMENTS
EMPHASIS ON QUICK TAKEOFF AND LANDING; MIMICS PLYOMETRIC ACTIVITIES
SKIPPING
BASED ON THE FORWARD STEP LUNGE EXERCISE
MAY BE MULTIDIRECTIONAL
LUNGING
DRILLS THAT TARGET CHANGES OF DIRECTION
PREPARATION FOR CHANGES OF DIRECTION DURING PLYOMETRIC DRILLS
FOOTWORK
MIMICS RUNNING MOVEMENTS
EMPHASIZES POSTURE AND MOVEMENT TECHNIQUE
ENHANCES PROPER LOWER-BODY MOVEMENTS FOR RUNNING
MARCHING
PREPARES FOR IMPACT AND HIGH-INTENSITY PLYOMETRIC DRILLS
TOE JOGGING-NOT ALLOWING THE HEEL TO TOUCH THE GROUND (EMPHASIZES QUICK REACTION)
STRAIGHT-LEG JOGGIING- MINIMIZING OR NOT ALLOWING LEG FLEXION IN PREPARATION FOR THE IMPACT OF PLYOMETRIC DRILLS
JOGGING
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN DETERMINING AN ATHLETE’S READINESS FOR PLYOMETRIC TRAINING
(1) AGE
(2) BALANCE
(3) STRENGTH LEVELS
(4) TECHNIQUE EXPERIENCE
