Title: Optimal drop heights for plyometric training / Adrian Lees and Emad FahmiAuthor: Lees, Adrian
Notes: Sumario: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of drop height in the performance of plyometric training. Vertical jumping ability is important in the performance of a variaty of sports events. Essentially, plyometric muscle training uses the stretch-shorten cycle which is a natural feature of many human movements. The stretch-shorten cycle involves a rapid pre-strech of the muscle by way of an eccentric contraction, and an immediate shortening as a concentratic contractionRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 1, January 1994 ; p. 141-148Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Deportes Atletismo Ejercicio físico Biomecánica Contracciones musculares Otros autores: Fahmi, Emad
