PLYOMETRICS
USE OF QUICK MOVEMENT OF
ECCENTRIC ACTIVITY FOLLOWED BY A
BURST OF CONCENTRIC ACTIVITY TO
PRODUCE A DESIRED POWERFUL
OUTPUT OF THE MUSCLE.
TECHNIQUE
• STRETCH-SHORTENING EXERCISE- LENGTHEN MUSCLE THEN SHORTEN
TO PRODUCE AN INCREASED POWER OUTPUT
COMPONENTS
• MECHANICAL
• CONTRACTILE COMPONENT (CC)- MYOFIBRILS
• WHEN AN ACTIVE MUSCLE LENGTHENS, SPEED OF CROSS BRIDGES DETACH
INCREASES & # OF CROSS BRIDGES B/T ACTIN & MYOSIN INCREASE= GREATER
STRENGTH
• NON-CONTRACTILE• SERIES ELASTIC COMPONENT (SEC) -TENDONS, SHEATH, SARCOLEMMA
• PARALLEL ELASTIC COMPONENT (PEC)- CONNECTIVE TISSUE
INTERACTION
• MUSCLE ACTIVELY SHORTENS DUE TO CC. AS IT CONTINUES TO SHORTEN,
SEC IS STRETCHED
• MUSCLE ACTIVELY LENGTHENS- CC, SEC, & PEC PRODUCE THE FORCE
• SEC & PEC OFFER RESISTANCE
• CC CONTROLS SPEED AND QUALITY
• WHEN A MUSCLE ELONGATES, PASSIVE COMPONENT MAKES IT THAT THE
ACTIVE COMPONENT TO PRODUCE SAME FORCE WITH SHORTENING
• SO WHAT?
• LONG STORY SHORT, ECCENTRIC NEEDS LESS FORCE BECAUSE THE PASSIVE
ELEMENTS ARE HELPING
COMPONENTS
• NEUROLOGICAL
• MUSCLE SPINDLES- STIMULATED BY SUDDEN CHANGE IN MUSCLE
LENGTH. PRODUCES A STRETCH (MYOTATIC REFLEX) TO FACILITATE
SHORTENING
• STRETCH REFLEX- GOES AFFERENT TO SPINAL CORD DIRECTLY TO
EFFERENT TO PRODUCE RAPID RESPONSE
• GTOS- AS MUSCLE SHORTENS, SENDS SIGNAL TO LIMIT FORCE
PRODUCTION
PLYOMETRIC PRODUCTION
• USES ELASTIC ENERGY FROM
ECCENTRIC DURING
CONCENTRIC ACTIVITY
• ROM HELPS TOO
• 30 DEGREE SQUAT VS 90
DEGREE
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
• IT IS BELIEVED THE MUSCLES INCREASED OUTPUT DURING TRAINING
MAY BE RESULT OF IMPROVED SYNCHRONIZATION OF MUSCLE
ACTIVITY
• ALSO IMPROVES NEUROMUSCULAR COORDINATION
• WHEN SPEED AND COORDINATION IMPROVED, GREATER POWER
CAN BE PRODUCED
PHASES
• ECCENTRIC
• “STRETCH” OR “COCKING” PHASE, SETS THE MUSCLE
• MUSCLE SPINDLES RESPOND BETTER TO RAPID STRETCH
AND ACCOMMODATES TO SLOW SO RATE OF STRETCH
MORE IMPORTANT THAN AMOUNT
• AMORITIZATION
• AMOUNT OF TIME TO CHANGE FROM ECCENTRIC TO
CONCENTRIC
• CAN BE CALLED “ TRANSITION PHASE” OR “COUPLING
PHASE”
• SHOULD BE QUICK
PHASES
• CONCENTRIC
• “SHORTENTING”, “UNLOADING” OR “PROPULSION” PHASE
BEFORE YOU START
• STRENGTH- TO ADEQUATELY CONTROL THE ACTIVITY
• F X D/T=P
• FOR LE: BE ABLE TO SQUAT 60% BW FOR 5 REPS WITHIN 5 SECONDS
• USE LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE
• FLEXIBILITY- GREATER LENGTHENING OF MUSCLE
• NEED TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB FORCE
• PROPRIOCEPTION- MUST HAVE THE ABCS TO CONTROL RAPID AND
FORCEFUL MOVEMENTS
PROGRAM DESIGN
• INTENSITY
• ADD WEIGHT, INCREASE HEIGHT OF JUMP, INCREASE
DISTANCE OF JUMP/THROW, INCREASE SPEED
• VOLUME
• NON INJURED FOR BEGINNERS IS 60-100 FOOT
CONTACTS
• RECOVERY
• SHORT REST = ENDURANCE
• LONG REST = POWER (WORK:REST 1:5 OR 1:10 RATIO)
• FREQUENCY
• 48 HOURS BUT USE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO “HMM”
• SURFACE
• AGE
• 8-13 LOW VOL &
INTENSITY
• BODY WEIGHT
• MORE STRESS ON
TENDONS & JOINTS
WITH MORE WEIGHT
• COMPETITIVE LEVEL
• IS A RECREATIONAL
ATHLETE GOING TO
PERFORM THE SAME?
• ABSORB SOME IMPACT
• FOOTWEAR
• CUSHION SHOCK
• TECHNIQUE
• LAND MIDFOOT, NOT
ON HEELS, BACK
STRAIGHT, KNEES
• PROGRESSION
• GOALS
• DEMANDS OF SPORT
PRECAUTIONS AND
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• TIME- SHORT PERIODS, EARLY IN SESSION SO NOT FATIGUED
• DOMS
• ACUTE INFLAMMATION- AVOID DURING THIS
• POST-OP
• JOINT INSTABILITY
EQUIPMENT
PROGRESSIONS LE
