Question | Answer |

Definition 1)Type of mvmt 2)Activates the...prior to... 3)Relationship to power | 1) Quick, powerful mvmt involving eccentric prestretching/ counter movement 2) Activating the stretch-shortening cycle, prior to concentric muscle contraction 3) Could link strength with speed to produce power |
What is it meant to encompass | Maximal, all-out quality efforts with gravity and BW being the constants for each rep of an exercise |
What is the stretch-shortening cycle | Term used in physiology literature to describe activities (Jumping, running, throwing) |
What phases are plyos described as (3) | Biphasic Triphasic 5 phases |
Biphasic Plyometrics | Concentric Eccentric |
Triphasic Plyometrics | Eccentric (Preload) -> Transition/Amortization -> Concentric (contraction) |
5 phases of plyometrics | Momentum -> Eccentric (Preload) -> Transition/Amortization -> Concentric (contraction)-> Momentum |
Amortization 1)What is it | Time from initial |
Loading Phase 1)Also called...(3) 2)Begins when... 3)Ends when... (3) | 1) Eccentric preload, Deceleration, Cocking phase 2) Muscle-tendon units initiate -tive work 3) Center of mass reaches its lowest position Velocity reduces to zero Ground rx force curve begins to reverse direction |
What happens when there is a stretch of the active muscle during the loading phase (3) | Muscle potentiation Stretch reflex Storage of elastic potential energy |
Muscle potentiation 1) What is it 2)Its a increase in...and a decrease in... | An alteration of the muscle contractile properties that leads to higher force production An increase in proportion of cross bridges attached to actin and a decrease in cross bridge detachment rate |
Stretch reflex How it works (3 steps) | 1) Muscle stretch stimulates spindle 2)Provides excitatory feedback to same muscle via monosynaptic reflex loop 3) Resulting in myotatic /stretch reflex |
Storage of elastic potential energy 1)Roll of tendon 2)Roll of GTP | 1) Tendon is main contributor to muscle-tendon unit length changes and storage to elastic potential energy 2)GTO is stimulated by stretch and via the release of stored energy, has been found to intiate excitatory reflexes |
Coupling Phase 1) What is it 2) Referred to as 3) When does muscle fascicle length not change (3) 4)How long does it take for coupling phase to have a decrease in stored energy 5) Relationship b/n duration and amnt of work input and the cause of it | 1) Transition b/n loadin, unloadin phase 2) Amortization phase 3) Jt angle, vertical ground force, CoM of body is about to change direction 4) Lasting >25ms 5) Shorter phase= greater muscle work output due to max utilization of stored elastic energy |
When will plyometric exercise be classified as a strenghtening activity | When the exercise has a visible pause in jt mvmt |
Unloading Phase 1)When does it occur 2) Involves... 3) Also called...(3) 4) When does it begin and end 5) Type of phase | 1) p coupling phase 2)Shortening of muscle-tendon unit 3) Rebound, shortening, push-off 4) When muscle-tendon unit begins to shorten; ends @ toe off 5) Resultant phase- Incrd efficiency results in greater force production & work output by muscle |
Plyometric Activity 1) Utilizes these elastic components (3) | Actin and myosin filaments Tendon |
2 muscle proprioceptors | Spindles Golgi Tendon Organs |
Spindles 1)How it works (3) | 1)Stimulated via stretch Sensory info is passed thru reflex loop to provide excitatory feedback to agonist extrafual fibers Results in short-latency reflex muscle activity (stretch-reflex) |
Spindles 1) What modulates stretch reflex output (2) 2) How to increase stretch reflex (2) | 1) Rate and magnitude of loading 2) Faster rates and higher loading magnitudes |
Golgi tendon organs 1) How it works (2) | Stimulated by stretch Gives sensory info to an interneuron and inhibitory feedback to the contracting muscle |
Plyometrics role in GTO (2) | May desensitize GTO- allowing greater accumulation of force during eccentric period Initiate excitatory reflexes |
Excitatory reflexes that may improve NM control | Length feedback Force feedback |
Length feedback 1)Links...(2) 2) Contributes to... | 1) Muscles that are synergists w/ excitatory feedback and opposing muscle w/ reciprocal inhibition Monarticular muscles with excitatory feedback 2) Joint stiffness |
Force feedback 1)Connects.... 2)Relationship to joints | 1) Connects muscles that cross different joints and exert torque in different directions through inhibitory feedback 2)Regulates coupling b/n joints |
Plyometric Performance Enhancement How plyometrics improves efficiency and force production (3) | 1) Summation of storage and reutilization of elastic energy 2) Muscle potentation 3) Myotatic stretch reflex |
1)When do most plyometrics terminate 2)The degee of performance enhancement depends on...(3) | 1) In momentum phase 2)Magntiude of force Speed/quickness of the mvmt Total contact duration (loading through unloading phase) |
Forces 1)Relationship b/n forces and coupling phase 2)Relationship b/n forces and energy storage | 1) Higher forces are associated with a shorter coupling phase 2)Higher forces- Produce greater energy storage in series elastic components |
Plyometrics and Contact Duration 1)As contact duration decreases...(3) Refers to... 2) When does prolonged contact occurs (2) Should it occur | 1)Incr force is gnerated, incr joint movement, increase tendon contribution to work Refers to amatorization 2)should be avoided Occurs when intensity is too high during loading Occurs when transition b/n loading, unloading isn't continuous |
Intensity of plyometrics 1)Intensity's relationship to height 2) Height relationship to contact time and tendon shortneing 3)When does point of diminishing return occurs? | 1) Intensity increases w/ height 2)Increased height= reduced contact time and tendon shortening (unloading phase) is greater 3) When contact time increases and elstic recoil ration of tendon decreases |
Who would benefit from plyometric program (3) | 1) Desire to return to activities requiring explosive movements 2)Advanced speed, forces, or planes of motion needed for skill reacquistion 3) Bridge the gap b/n traditional rehab and return to sport-specific activities |
