Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Muscle force, work, and power output during concentric contractions (active muscle shortening) are increased immediately following an eccentric contraction (active muscle lengthening). This increase in performance is known as the stretch-shortening cycle

Reflex facilitation during the stretch-shortening cycle
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2000 Maximal torque during the concentric phase of a movement has been shown to be enhanced by prior eccentric muscle actions, a movement strategy referred to as the stretch-shortening cycle. Although the mechanical basis for this enhancement is well established, the neural component is not.

Review of Literature: Neuromuscular Adaptations to Plyometrics
International Journal of Strength and Conditioning, 2021 Plyometric exercises are a training stimulus that were developed in an attempt to bridge the gap between weight room muscular strength exercises and the speed or power needed on the track, field or court.

Biomechanical Determinants of the Reactive Strength Index During Drop Jumps [PDF]
, 2018 The Reactive Strength Index (RSI) is often used to quantify drop-jump (DJ) performance; however, not much is known about its biomechanical determinants.

Mechanosensing in myosin filament solves a 60 years old conflict in skeletal muscle modeling between high power output and slow rise in tension [PDF]
, 2016 Almost 60 years ago Andrew Huxley with his seminal paper \cite{Huxley1957} laid the foundation of modern muscle modeling, linking chemical events to mechanical performance.

Effects of general, specific and combined warm-up on explosive muscular performance
Biology of Sport, 2015 The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of general, specific and combined warm-up (WU) on explosive performance. Healthy male (n=10) subjects participated in six WU protocols in a crossover randomized study design.
