Plyometric Training Concepts forPerformance EnhancementChapter 8
Objectives for Plyometric Training • Describe it and its purpose • Rationalize its importance • Design a Plyometric Training Program
Plyometric Training Concepts • What is it? • Quick powerful movement • Eccentric followed by explosive concentric • Accomplished by Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC) • a.k.a Integrated Performance Paradigm
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) Integrated Performance Paradigm
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Plyometric Training will • Enhances Motor Learning • Improve Neuromuscular Efficiency • Promote muscle excitability, sensitivity, reactivity
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Plyometric Training will increase • Rate of force production • Motor unit recruitment • Rate coding • Synchronization
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Plyometric Training is applicable to sport • All movement involves a series of SSC • Body must react quickly to accelerate
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Plyometric Training will prepare athlete for sport • Exercises must utilize • Specific movement patterns • Rapid change of direction • Functionally applicable speeds
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Three Phases of Plyometric Exercise • Eccentric (loading) • Amortization (transition) • Concentric (unloading)
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Physiologic Principles of Plyometric Training • Proprioceptive properties of a muscle • facilitate muscle activity • Muscle spindles, Golgi Tendon Organs
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Physiologic Principles of Plyometric Training • Elastic properties of a muscle • Series and Parallel Elastic Component • Potential energy stored and released • Inversely proportional to amortization duration
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Proposed mechanisms for enhanced performance • Enhanced Muscle Spindle Activity • Faster loading = greater force • Desensitization of Golgi Tendon Organ • Increases muscle inhibition stimulation threshold
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Proposed mechanisms for enhanced performance • Enhanced Neuromuscular Efficiency • Better control of agonists and synergists • Enables CNS to be more reflexive
Plyometric Training Concepts (Cont’d) • Plyometric training and integrated training • May improve multiple performance factors • Plyometric training in isolation • May not improve performance. • Plyometric training is safe for children • Plyometric Training may reudce injury rates
Plyometric Training Program • This is an advanced training tool • Need appropriate flexibility, core strength, balance • Focus on shortening amoritization duration • Progress by increasing stretch load intensity • Greater jump distance or height • Double leg to single leg jumps
Plyometric Training Program (Cont’d) • Monitor volume by foot contacts • Depends on exercise intensity • Depends on athlete’s experience • Progress using OPT Model
Plyometric Stabilization • Develops • Optimum landing mechanics • Postural alignment • Reactive neuromuscular efficiency • Exercises involve little joint motion
Plyometric Stabilization (Cont’d) Box jump up with stabilization
Plyometric Strength • Develops • Dynamic joint stabilization • Eccentric strength • Rate of force production • Neuromuscular Efficiency of HMS
Plyometric Strength (Cont’d) • Exercises involve • Full ROM with eccentric and concentric action • Repetitive jumping • Multi-planar movement
Plyometric Strength (Cont’d) any plyometric strength exercise
Plyometric Power • Develops • Rate of force production • Eccentric and Reactive Strength • Reactive joint stabilization • Optimum force production
Plyometric Power (Cont’d) • Exercises Involve • Fast and explosive movement • Functional movement velocities • Multi-planar movement
Plyometric Power (Cont’d) Depth Jump Progression
Plyometric Training Design Parameters • Select appropriate exercises for training phase • Phase 1 – Plyometric Stabilization • Phase 2,3,4 – Plyometric Strength • Phase 5,6 – Plyometric Power • See Table 8-2
