Q

what are the circumstances under which the stored energy is dissipated and lost as heat

A

The concentric muscle action does not occur immediately after the eccentric muscle action.

The eccentric phase is too long.

The eccentric phase requires too great a motion about the given joint.

Q

why is it difficult to perform true plyometric drills that directly target trunk muscle

A

because all requisite plyometric elements may not be present.
It is assumed that the stretch reflex latencies of the abdominal muscles are shorter than for the limb muscles.

Q

how does volume is typically express

A

as the # or reps and sets perform during a given training session

32

primary goal of plyo training with adolescent

A

is to develop neuromuscular control & the anaerobic skills that will carry over to safer participation in sport & athletics.

44
Q

recommendation for plyo exercise with adolescent

Design a plyometric program according to the same guidelines outlined for adult athletes with the following changes:

A

Low- to moderate-intensity exercises:  5.
Volume: < a standard plyometric training program.
Recovery: 3-4 days between plyometric workouts

46
Q

what is complex training

A

is a combination of high-intensity resistance training followed by plyometrics.involves the execution of a resistance training exercise using a heavy load (1-5 RM) followed relatively quickly by the execution of a biomechanically similar plyometric exercise.

47
Q

example of complex training

A

5 reps of front squat using a 5RM load.
6-8 vertical jumps or depth jumps.

48
Q

what is advanced form of complex training

A

is the combination of traditional resistance training exercises with plyometric movements.

49
Q

example of advanced form of complex training

A

perform a squat jump with about 30% 1RM as an external resistance.

50
Q

what is physiological rationale behind complex training

A

Premise of Complex Training
The explosive capability of muscle is enhanced after it has just been subjected to maximal or near-maximal contractions.

This phenomenon has been referred to as postactivation potentiation (PAP).

51
Q

2 possibles postactivation potentiate mechanism

A

Prestimulation Enhances Motor-Neuron Pool Excitability
Phosphorylation of the Myosin Light Chain

52
Q

what happen with Prestimulation Enhances Motor-Neuron Pool Excitability

A

Recruitment of more motor units.
Better motor unit synchronization.
A decrease in postsynaptic inhibition.
Greater central input to the motor neuron.

53
Q

what happen with Phosphorylation of the Myosin Light Chain

A

Renders the actin-myosin interaction more sensitive to Ca2+ released from the SR.

54
Q

what happen with Phosphorylation of the Myosin Light Chain

A

Renders the actin-myosin interaction more sensitive to Ca2+ released from the SR.
