Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
plyometrics   activites enable muscule to reach maximal force in shortest possible time  
🗑
power   force-speed relationship  
🗑
purpose of plyometrics   increase power of susequent movements by using the natural elastic components of muscule, tendon, and stretch reflex  
🗑
plyometrics proposed by 2 models   mechanical and neurophysological model  
🗑
mechanical model   elastic energy in the musculotendinous component is increased with rapid stretch then stored. immediately following the concentric muscle, the stored elastic energy is released increasing the total force production.  
🗑
series elastic component (SEC)   workhorse of plyometric exercise  
🗑
neurophysiological model   involves the potentiation of the concentric muscle actions by use of stretch refelx  
🗑
stretch reflex   body's involuntary repsonse to an external stimuli that stretches the muscle spindles.  
🗑
muscle spindles   proprioceptive organs that are sensitive to the rate and magnitude of a stretch, when a quick stretch is detected, muscle activity reflexivity increases.  
🗑
reflexive muscle action   muscle spindles stimulated by rapid stretch cause this during plyometrics.  
🗑
Three distinct phases of SSC   eccentric phase, amortization phase, and conccentric phase  
🗑
eccentric phase   involving preloading the agonist muscles, SEC stroes elastic energy and muscle spindles stimulated.  
🗑
ventral root   A signal from ______ via type 1a afferent nerve fibers is sent.  
🗑
long jump   touchdown of the foot to the bottom of the movement is eccentric phase.  
🗑
amortization phase   time between eccentric and concentric phases (transition process), duration must be short.  
🗑
concentric phase   body's response to eccentric and amortization phase. Energy stored in the SEC is used to increase the force of movement or it's released as heat.  
🗑
agonist muscle group   alpha motor neurons stimulate agonist group  
🗑
gastrocnemius   upon touch down gastroc undergoes rapid stretch (eccentric) there is then a delay in movement (amortization phase) ten the muscle concentrically planter flexes the athlete, allowing the athlete to push off the ground (concentric)  
🗑
intensity skipping is low intensity, depth jumps are high intensity   amount of stress placed on invloved muscles, connective tissues and joints.  
🗑
decreases   as intensity increases volume...  
🗑
frequency   # of training sessions per a week, typically 1-3. 48-72 hours of between plyometric sessions is typical.  
🗑
recovery   due to maximal efforts of plyometric exercises , complete and adequate recovery is required. rest to work ratio -1-5 or 1-10  
🗑
# of sets performed during a given training session   volume  
🗑
6-10 weeks   program length  
🗑
strength- lower body plyometrics   athlete 1 RM squat should be 1.5 times his or her body weight.  
🗑
strength- upperbody plyometrics   1 RM bench press should be 1 times his/her weight. large athletes 1.5  
🗑
speed   ability to move rapidly is essential before beginning a plyometric program  
🗑
balance   maintenance of a position without moving for a given period of time  
🗑
age and physical characteristics   athletes who weigh more than 220 pounds may be at increased risk when performing plyometrics.  
🗑
speed   ability to achieve high velocity  
🗑
agility   ability to explosively brake, change direction and accelerate again  
🗑
speed-strength   force developed rapidly or at a high velocity (basis of speed and agility training)  
🗑
speed-endurance   provides metabolic conditioning needed to support summing speed and agility over an extended duration  
🗑
special endurance   variation of speed-endurance applies when there are sport specific exercise relief patterns that consist of ongoing submax activity with intermittent high intensity bursts.  
🗑
sprinting   series of ballistic strides in which the body repeatedly launched forward as a projective  
🗑
stride frequency and stride length   running speed is the interaction of ____ and _____  
🗑
drive, stride, lift.   three respective technique variants  
🗑
drive   starting acceleration and push off acceleration (first 22-30 yd. or 20-30m)  
🗑
stride   full-flight striking or pushing action. (after 30 m)  
🗑
lift   kick-at-speed pulling action (after 30 m)  
🗑
eye focus, arm action and leg action   three aspects of sprinting  
🗑
primary training method   execution of sound technique, planting foot under COG, minimizing braking forces ad ground support, and exerting maximal backward impulse. can be performed at submas speed  
🗑
secondary training   consists of assisted sprinting and resisted sprinting  
🗑
assisted sprinting   methods include gravity- assisted sprinting, high speed towing, or other means of acheiving an over-speed effect. improve stride frequency ex. running down a hill  
🗑
resisted sprinting   methods include gravity-resisted sprinting. improve speed-strength and stride length. ex. running up a hill and parachute.  
🗑
tertiary training   consists of fitness training, power and speed endurance.  
🗑
fitness training   improves endurance, mobility and strength allows agility drills to be performed safely and effectively  
🗑
