Plyometric Training Flashcards
Plyometric training is also known as (2)
jump or reactive training
Plyometric training uses movements such as (3)
bounding, hopping, and jumping
Plyometric training uses movements to develop _ _
muscular power
Personal trainers should not use plyometric training with clients until
they posses adequate core, strength, joint stability, and ROM, and have the ability to balance efficiently
Success is everyday activities and sport depends on
the speed at which muscular force is generated
The eccentric phase is also known as (2)
deceleration or loading phase
The eccentric phase increases _ _ activity by _ the muscle before _.
muscle spindle
prestretching
activation
What type of energy is stored during the eccentric phase?
potential energy is stored in the elastic components of the muscle
The amortization phase is also known as
transition phase
What happens if the amortization phase is too long?
Poor neuromuscular efficiency from a loss of elastic potential energy
The concentric phase is also known as
unloading phase
This is synonymous with releasing a
rubber band after it was stretched.
The ultimate goal of plyometric training is to decrease the time between
the eccentric muscle action and the concentric contraction.
Shorten the amortization phase
The clients speed will be limited by their
neuromuscular coordination
What will happen if you assign exercises that are too advanced for your client?
Will not perform correctly and will compensate leading to synergistic dominance

Plyometric safety considerations:
technique
proper landing, catching, and throwing
