Programming Considerations for Power Flashcards
describe power categorization for upper body
upper body> multi-joint>push/pull>horizontal/vertical/(bi-lateral or unilateral)/ (stance/position)
describe power categorization for throws
throws>creating movement> rotation/flexion/extension
what’s an example of throws (power categorization)
granny med ball toss
describe individual difference in terms of innate skills
innate skills: movements rehearsed over and over again until they appear effortless when performed
describe individual difference in terms of nature
nature: some athletes benefit or suffer from the DNA and hard-wiring received via genetics from parents and relatives
describe individual difference in terms of nurture
nurture: some athletes benefit or suffer from the environment to which they are exposed during optimal windows of development
describe individual differences in more detail
- strength base is required prior to higher levels of plyometrics
- majority of female and some men with lack of foot/knee/hip stability leading to valgus force on knee joints (females higher Q angle)
- females - delayed co-contraction of hamstring equals anterior shift of tibia and > risk of ACL
how much strength do you need to attempt plyos? * not in notes, ideology
need to be able to squat 1.5 of your bodyweight to be able to do plyos
describe age related differences
- individuals or groups - technical coaching and safety are a priority
- age-plyometric exercise is for all ages HOWEVER it is age and strength specific
- adolescent (8 yrs+) need to be aware of history of injury and pre-existing orthopedic conditions (reduced amplitude/intensity when dealing with osteo-arthritis/joint degeneration)
what age-related change happens at 30?*
reduction in muscle mass
- 27ish is your prime age
list some exercises from low>mod>high intensity (progressing intensity)
- SRJ-single response jumps (jumps in place)/ med ball drills/conc only box
- standing jumps/ single stair jumps
- MRJ - multiple repeated jumps/ skips and bounds
- Ecc/conc box drills/hurdle drills
- depth jumps/unweighted jumps
why does dylan not like box jumps?
- box takes away from the landing
- vertical jumping itself might more challenging up until takeoff
- box decreases amplitude of landing
- simple progression could be box jump to vertical jump
The impact has influence, list training medium on a scale of low>mod>high intensity
water/pool>sand>grass> field turf>synthetic track
*track/concrete ground reaction force is biggeer
describe factors to consider
- strength deficit
- lower/upper limb injury
- valgus mechanics
- questionable surface
- fatigue is present (try to do power at beginning)
- age
- overtraining
- intensity/wt too high
- less than 1-2 days of recovery
- # of foot contacts too high for time of year or age
why should we consider injury in programming? *
(might have reduced ROM)
- any time we disclocate and sprain joints, we have taken soft tissues around the joint and over stretched them, creates laxity
- later can’t necessarily regain laxity, will be at increased risk for injury
