Q

What is the function of plyometric training?

A

Muscle eccentrically lengthens (landing) then when concentrically contracted muscle is activated with a stretch relflex which adds an additional power and prevents injury

Q

What are the advantages of plyometric training?

A

Good to develop explosive strength and endurance

Mostly lower but can be sport specific

26
Q

What are the disadvantages of plyometric?

A

Shouldn’t be used with beginners, performer need to warm up

27
Q

What is the intensity for explosive strength plyometric?

A

75-85% 6-10 reps

28
Q

What are the guidelines for plyometric?

A

2-3 week 2 res days
intensity medium/high at full speed
body weight
2-6 reps

29
Q

What are the strength adaptations?

A

Metabolic
Neural
Muscle tissue and connect

30
Q

How is metabolic process a n adaptation?

A

Increase muscle mass, more calorie expenditure means a leaner body
Increase phosphocreatine, better maximal stores for no of seconds increase in glycogen means an increase I energy
Increased enzyme activity- quicker breakdown of pc stores and glycogen meaning more energy
Increased buffering capacit increase tolerance, removal of lactic acid

31
Q

How is metabolic process a n adaptation?

A

Increase muscle mass, more calorie expenditure means a leaner body
Increase phosphocreatine, better maximal stores for no of seconds increase in glycogen means an increase I energy
Increased enzyme activity- quicker breakdown of pc stores and glycogen meaning more energy
Increased buffering capacit increase tolerance, removal of lactic acid

32
Q

How is muscle and connective tissue an adaption?

A

Muscle hypetrophu, more force production due to increase muscle cross sectional area
muscle hyperlasia- increase number of muscle fibres, increase in frce
myofibrils- make up muscle fibres, protein increases myofibrils and increases force
increased strength of ligaments and tenons, increase joint stability and reduces injruy
Increases bone density» calcium

33
Q

Why is neural and adaptation?

A

Increases recruitment of motor units, activate more muscle fibres&raquo_space;explosive strength contraction
»fibre type 1
Better use of strength reflex

34
Q

What are the methods of evaluating strength?

A

Grip strength dynamometer, press up/sit up, repetition maximum, vertical jump test

35
Q

ion

A
36
Q

What DOES THE GRIP/LEG STRength maximum measure?

A

Maximum

37
Q

What does the vertical jump measure?

A

Explosive/elastic

38
Q

What does the Wingate cycle test measure?

A

Dynamic

39
Q

What does the sit up test measure?

A

Endurance

40
Q

What does the press up measure?

A

Endurance

41
Q

What is the 1rm test?- maximum

A

Highest weight lifted once at an specific muscle group

42
Q

What are the advantages of maximum 1rm?

A

Cheap with simple reputable tests, specific

43
Q

What are the disadvantages of the maximum 1rm?

A

Risk of injury, limited tests for isolated areas of muscle

44
Q

What is th vertical jump?

A

Difference between the standing reach height and their vertical jump

45
Q

What are the advantages of the vertical?

A

Valid test
reliable
legs

46
Q

What are the disadvnates of the vertical?

A

Only valid for leg muscles

47
Q

What is the dynamic/ wingate cycle test?

A

Maximl 30 sec sprint on a cycle ergometer against a weight restates and software to show gra[hs of anaerobic leg power

48
Q

What are the advantages of the Wingate?

A

high validity and reliabilty

accurate data for leg

49
Q

What are the disadvnatbes of the wingate?

A

Only valid for leg power
less practical
expensive

50
Q

What is the abdomen sit up test?

A

NCF progressive sit up test to exhaustion in time to a bleep, rating based on time and number of its ups

51
Q

What are the advantages of the ab sit test?

A

High validity, cheap, simple

52
Q

What are the disadvnates of the ab test?

A

Good technique only essential

53
Q

What is the press up test?

A

Rating based on number of press ups to exhaustion, hands straight body/arms shoulder width apart own to 90 degrees

54
Q

What are the advantages of the press up test?

A

reliable if protocol followed
valid for upper
cheap

55
Q

What are the disadvantages of the press up?

A

Good technique essential

56
Q

What are the factors that affect strength?

A

Gender- men have more tetesterone women have oestrogen so better for elasticity
as you increase age- strength decreases due to elasticity decreases
fibre type- increase of fog and tule 2 increases enzymes for pfk, creating kinase lactic acid
elasticity of tissue- greater stretch reflex (add more recoil)
cross sectional area- (hypertrophy, hyperplasia)
genetics- depends on parents
strength training-&raquo_space; hypertrophy

57
Q

What test to measure explosive?

A

vertical jump test

58
Q

how to plan a strength training?

A

use principle of training for long marker
short marker- use wosc
or fitt

59
Q

What is plyometric mainly used for?

A

Lower body, risk of injury is high
involves an eccentric contraction before a concentric contraction
bounding, jumping, press ups wt claps
improves explosive strength

60
Q

What are the muscle and connective tissue adaptations of strength?

A

Muscle hypertropju- increased force of contractiom
muscle hyperlasia- maximum and explosive training increased side of fg fibres
strength endurance increased size o fog fibres
increased strength of tendons and ligaments- better bone stability, decreased risk injuyr
increased bone density and mass- decreased risk of oestroparosis, increased absorption of calcium
increased in number size of contractile protein- force of contraction, increased mtobrlsis due to protein synetheis increase

61
Q

What are the strength metabolic adaptations?

A

Atp, pc stories increase and glycogen, increased energy and speed, increased high intensity (Alactic) energy [rpdiced
increased enzyme activity, anaerobic energy production
delaying obla
increased buffering0 increased tolerance of lactic acid, delaying of obla, increased anaerobic threshold
increased muscle mass, improved body composition
increasing energy expenditure
