Another Term for the Concept of Plyometric Training Is Reactive

question 15

Multiple Choice

Another term for the concept of plyometric training is reactive neuromuscular training.At the cellular and neuromuscular receptor level, which of the following describes the mechanism of plyometrics?

• A)The eccentric contraction stimulates and activates the monosynaptic stretch reflex in the muscle and so prepares the muscle for a concentric contraction.
• B)The concentric contraction (stretch shortening drill) builds power that is released in the eccentric (lengthening drill) that follows.
• C)A slow eccentric (lengthening) contraction stretches the muscle spindle, transmitting a more powerful concentric (shortening) contraction.
• D)Quick eccentric loads expend energy that is then transmitted to the muscle spindle, resulting in muscular hypertrophy and increased power.
