Mel Siff talks about the novel Plyometrics

Share

Drop-jumps and various standing exercises are so widely used as a means of

Forgot plyometric training, we often seem to be that it is conventionally

done in many other ways with swing of the children we

All they had to play in public parks. In the latter, you assign only one

Swing in the vicinity of a wall, so you can swing at different heights and strike

Wall on its feet, with the rebound. For those of our

Textbook “Super Training” (SIFF & Verkhoshansky 1999), see cards for P275

this year.

This way, you do not have a lot of expensive “Plyo buy” boxes – all

What you need is a rope, wood and everything for your swing and hang out

You have a device very controlled plyometric training. With a little

Ingenuity, you can even hold a wooden wall on the one hand, the height allows

They push with his hands. ( “Super Training” for P275

Diagrams. )

Of course you can, these devices become more complex and technical,

Whether you can perform detailed biomechanical measures with them. For

those are our textbooks have “super training” on page 219, you’ll see a

Diagram of a specific plyometric bench that my students major in engineering

built at the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) in 1992.

The same students also built swings various upper and lower body with

Year load cell or force plates to measure forces exerted during

Effects.

Recently, I came to the following article that research

least the same type of work that had my engineers. I think

many of you, you will find the results interesting.

Fowler NE, Lee A & T Reilly Changes in size following plyometric

Drop-jump and pendulum exercises. Ergonomics 1997 Dec, 40 (12) :1279-86

The objective of this study was to compare changes in stature by comparison

Power plyometric exercises using drop-jumps and a pendulum.

Eight male participants aged 21 7 + / – 1 8 years experience of plyometric

Education have given their consent to act as subjects. Participants

undertook two exercise programs and a test of 15 min was in random order.

The exercises brought the power of 50 drop jumps from a height of 0 28

m or 50 pendulum rebounds () wall.

Participants were asked to perform a jump or bounce up with a

Style rebound. The major measures were taken after a period of 20 minutes

Standing (pre-exercise), 2-min after exercise (post exercise) and after

Standing 20-min recovery) (Recovery. Back pain and muscle pain were

assessed with a visual analogue scale, with each of both above and also

24 hours and 36 hours after the test. The maximum torque in isokinetic knee

Extension 1 04 rad / sec was measured immediately before and after

Training sessions to assess the degree of muscle fatigue.

Floor / wall reaction force data were recorded with a Kistler platform

mounted in the floor for drop-jumps and vertically on the wall rebound

Pendulum exercises. Drop-jumps resulted in the greatest change in size

(-2. 71 mm), compared to pendulum exercises (-1. 77 mm) and standing (-0. 39mm).

Both exercise regimens led to a significant decrease in size when

compared to steady state. Drop-jumps in a row, significantly

more impact forces peak (p

The two exercise conditions both invoked a low degree of muscle soreness

but there was no significant difference between the two. Both

Scheme leads to a non-significant decrease of maximum torque, indicating a

similar degree of muscle fatigue. Based on the lower and lower in height

The peak loads can be assumed that pendulum exercises pose a lower injury

*** What does this mean for the coach? Well, first of all emphasized that

It is a very real place for the use of plyometric SWING as a safe and

effective form of dynamite. Secondly, it shows that

* Possibility of injury is greater, jumps to drop because of the greater

Effects on the forces exerted on the body.

It should be noted that the body can adjust these fees,

But this potential for injury is a good reason for the drop jumps should be

carefully and intelligently is necessary, especially for beginners, including

Musculoskeletal system is not sufficiently tailored to the impulsive load.

Regarding experience, it was also important to note that when 50

The rehearsals are done, then it is important that it be done to limit

The quantities of a few repetitions at a time, not as a kind of endurance

exercise. In the United States, many coaches tend to demand too much plyometric

Repetitions at a time. More is not necessarily better. In the case of

plyometrics, quality is far more important than quantity.
