●● Training Progressions
Answer: General to specific
Seated or lying to standing
Single joint to multi joint
Stable to unstable
Simultaneous to alternating
Slow to fast
●● The SSC of muscle contraction driving plyometrics has three phases:
a loading eccentric phase, a transitional amortization phase, and a(n)
Answer: Unloading phase
●● During which stage of the SSC are the muscle spindles stretched
along with the noncontractile tissues within the muscle?
Answer: Eccentric phase
●● What detects changes in length of muscle fiber, and signal through
afferent neurons to the spinal cord and the brain?
,Answer: Muscle spindle
●● With a foundation of power, plyometrics can benefit athletes of any
sport.
Answer: True
●● Regarding recovery from plyometric training, what is the
recommended duration of rest between training sessions?
Answer: 48-72 hours
●● Regarding the progression of plyometric exercises, which of the
following is the logical progression from the squat jump?
Answer: Broad Jump
●● Which of the following statements regarding the progression of
plyometric exercises is correct?
Answer: Quick changes of direction encourage neuromuscular overload.
●● Within the SSC, the transition from absorbing force to generating
force and acceleration is the
Answer: Amortization phase
●● slower eccentric phase will result in
, Answer: less potential energy than a faster eccentric phase.
●● A longer amortization phase will result in
Answer: the loss of potential energy in the form of heat and reduced
kinetic output in muscle contraction.
●● Gait assessment
Answer: What is observing the body movements or walking?
●● Lunge assessment
Answer: Little or no coaching
●● 3 min step trst
Answer: Less effective/lower percentage of participant completion
●● Rockport one mile walk test
Answer: Test heart rate at end of test
●● Think of posture as ideal or not ideal
Answer: True
●● Muscles surrounding a joint are weakened or overactive
