plyometrics, speed/agility Flashcards
plyometrics
quick, powerful movement
speed requires ability to
accelerate and reach max velocity
agility performance requires
perceptual-cognitive ability with ability to decelerate and reaccelerate
stretch-shortening cycle
employs both the energy storage of the SEC and stimulation of the stretch reflex to facilitate max increase in a muscle recruitment over time
as intensity increases, volume ____
decreases
how long between plyometric sessions
42-72 hrs
how many times a week should plyometrics be performed
2-3
plyometrics is a form of resistance training and must follow the principles of
progressive overload
progressive overload
the systematic increase in training frequency, volume, intensity
upper body resistance training should be paired with ____ plyometrics
lower body
speed
the skills and abilities needed to achieve high movement velocities
change of direction
skills and abilities needed to explosively change movement direction, velocity or mode
how quick you can change
agility
the skills and abilities needed to change direction, velocity or mode
how quick you can react
