Sport specific

Question 20

What are the principles of acceleration

Answer 20

Rise - projection of hips up and out
Rhythm - increased velocity increases GCT

Rdl
Front squat
Jump shrug
Hang clean
First pull deadlift
Full clean

Question 26

What are the 3 phases of the stretch shortening cycle?

Answer 26

1 preactivate the muscle before ground contact
2 eccentric phase is short and fast
3 transition beween stretch and shortening generates power

Question 27

Examples of fast ssc

Answer 27

Pogos, drop jump - short GCT under 250 milliseconds

Question 28

Examples of short ssc

Answer 28

Bounds, hop and stick, box jump - longer GCT over 250 milliseconds

Question 29

Mechanisms of SSC

Answer 29

Stretch reflex - Golgi tendon detects tension and activates antagonist , muscle spindle detects length and activates agonist to return to normal length increasing force

Elastic energy - produce in the stretching of the muscle released in the concentric phase as power output

Neural potentiation - actin and myosin bind to prestretch and excite the muscle, recruiting more motor units and increasing force

Question 30

What are the progressions of ssc

Answer 30

Basic movement
Falling height
Slow ssc to fast ssc
Vertical to multidirectional
Double to single leg

Question 31

Why do we do resistance training

Answer 31

Performance enhancement
Injury prevention
Increased strength and force production
Increased explosive power
Increased joint stability

Question 32

Principles of resistance training

Answer 32

Progressive overload - increase sets reps load intensity frequency
Reversibility - atrophy if not consistent
Specificity - dynamic correspondence to sports

Question 33

What are the factors affecting power

Answer 33

Crossbridges formed - actin and myosin
produces more force
Number of muscles fibres
Type of muscle fibres - fast twitch and slow twitch
The number of motor neurons activated
Rate of force development via muscle potential

Question 34
