True

99
Q

How is timing an important factor in the stretch-shortening cycle?

A

If the concentric muscle action does not occur immediately following the pre-stretch (a prolonged amortization phase), or if the eccentric phase is too long, the stored musculotendinous energy dissipates and is lost as heat, and the reflexive potential is negated.
