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.

Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior

Biology Open, 2019
The torque attained during active shortening is enhanced after an active stretch (stretch-shortening cycle, SSC). This study examined the influence of pre-activation on fascicle behavior and the SSC effect.

Energy Cost of Force Production After a Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Skinned Muscle Fibers: Does Muscle Efficiency Increase?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Muscle force is enhanced during shortening when shortening is preceded by an active stretch. This phenomenon is known as the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect.

STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE AS A BASIS OF PLYOMETRIC TRAINING

, 2023
Pliometrijski trening oblik je treninga u kojem dominiraju skakački ili bacački pokreti, odnosno balistički pokreti koji u svojoj izvedbi sadrže tzv. ekscentrično-koncentrični mišićni režim rada.

Relationships between force-time curve variables and jump height during countermovement jumps in young elite volleyball players

Acta Gymnica, 2018
Background: The importance of vertical jumps has been extensively recognised in sports. Furthermore, the main indicator of success in vertical jumps is the attained height, however, there is lack of knowledge on how the eccentric and concentric force ...

The Stretch-Shortening Cycle Training Increases Agility and Speed in Young Males [PDF]

, 2023
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of stretch-shortening cycle training on developing speed and agility in young males. The method used in this research was pre-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design for one group.

The stretch-shortening cycle effect is prominent in the inhibited force state

Journal of Biomechanics, 2021
It has been suggested that residual force enhancement (RFE) contributes to the work enhancement observed in stretch-shortening cycles (SSC). Based on recent findings that RFE was preserved in the reduced force state, one may speculate that the SSC effect may be preserved in the reduced force state as well.

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.

Contribution of the Achilles tendon to force potentiation in stretch-shortening cycle [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
Muscle force during concentric contractions is potentiated by a preceding eccentric contraction; a phenomenon known as the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect. Tendon elongation is often considered to be the primary factor for this force potentiation.

THE EFFECT OF A MAXIMAL STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE FATIGUE WORKOUT ON FAST STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE PERFORMANCE [PDF]

, 2006
This study examined the effect of a maximal stretch-shortening cycle fatigue workout on the biomechanical performance of rebound jumps that were done 15, 45, 120 and 300 seconds post-fatigue.
