COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH
100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
What is a method - CORRECT-ANSWER-one way of doing something
What are the 3 considerations for Plyometrics - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Movement: based on movement skills sesh
Direction: where is force being generated from
Initiation: NCM, CM, DC, etc
Types of movements: Plyometrics (low to high intensity) - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Jump: two feet
Bound: one foot to opposite foot
Hop: one foot onto same foot
,Types of Directions (low to high intensity) - CORRECT-ANSWER-Linear,
Lateral, rotational
Types of Initiations (Low to high intensity) - CORRECT-ANSWER-NCM,
CM, DC, Continuous, Depth Jump
Difference between medial and lateral - CORRECT-ANSWER-Medial
initiation inside of knee, lateral initiation outside of knee
Properly describing a plyometrics exercise - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Initiation, direction, object used, (jump, bound, hop), (medial or lateral)
Performance benefits of Plyometrics - CORRECT-ANSWER-Increase Rate
force development, increase reactive strength, improve ability to
transfer force & minimize energy leaks
,Goal of EXOS Plyometric Training (force velocity curve - CORRECT-
ANSWER-increase being able to lift heavier things faster: increase force
and velocity
2 Strength Qualities focus in plyometrics - CORRECT-ANSWER-Strength
Speed (<250m/s)
Speed Strength (<200m/s)
stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) - CORRECT-ANSWER-an eccentric-
concentric coupling phenomenon in which muscle-tendon complexes
are rapidly and forcibly lengthened, or stretch loaded, and immediately
shortened in a reactive or elastic manner
Contractile Contribution of SSC (refer back to ppt) - CORRECT-ANSWER-
force potentiation, increased activation w/ CM, Stretch reflex
, Purpose of Stretch Reflex - CORRECT-ANSWER-used to facilitate force
potentiation
Elastic Contributions of SSC - CORRECT-ANSWER-Storage of elastic
energy in muscle and in tendon
Explain: Anatomy of Stretch Shortening Cycle - CORRECT-ANSWER-
during eccentric portion of plyometrics, muscle locks in place because
of muscle spindles detecting change in length, causing muscle to
contract and force is sent through tendons to give more energy to the
movement
Explain; Neuroanatomy of Stretch Shortening Cycle (Afferent vs.
Efferent) - CORRECT-ANSWER-Afferent: muscle is stretched so signal
sent from muscle spindles to spine
Efferent: signal sent back to the muscle from spine to contract
Define: Quasai Isometric State - CORRECT-ANSWER-muscle stays
contracted while tendon lengthens and loads
