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.

Understanding Stretch Shortening Cycle Ability in Youth [PDF]

Strength & Conditioning Journal, 2013
ABSTRACTEXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAS INVESTIGATED STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE (SSC) PERFORMANCE IN ADULTS; HOWEVER, TO DATE, ONLY A FEW STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED SSC ABILITY IN YOUTHS. YOUTHS UNDERGOING PUBERTY EXPERIENCE MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES, WHICH INCLUDE CHANGES TO NEUROMUSCULAR AND ...

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 ...

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.

Acute Effects of Different Plyometric and Strength Exercises on Balance Performance in Youth Weightlifters

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Background: High-intensity muscle actions have the potential to temporarily improve the performance which has been denoted as postactivation performance enhancement.Objectives: This study determined the acute effects of different stretch-shortening (fast

Contribution of Stretch-Induced Force Enhancement to Increased Performance in Maximal Voluntary and Submaximal Artificially Activated Stretch-Shortening Muscle Action

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
In everyday muscle action or exercises, a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is performed under different levels of intensity. Thereby, compared to a pure shortening contraction, the shortening phase in a SSC shows increased force, work, and power.

Investigating the Correlation Between Agility and Jump Performance Indices in Indian Contact Sports Persons: An Observational Study

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2023
Introduction: The use of the jump as a plyometric exercise is a way to improve jump performance. Additionally, as it requires abrupt stopping, starting, and changing directions, it might enhance agility.

Why fencers should bounce: A new method of movement to engage the stretch-shortening cycle [PDF]

, 2017
While teaching a heel first contact style of footwork in fencing (also referred to as toe contribution avoidance) is in keeping with long-standing traditions, it is not conducive to today’s modern style of fast paced and explosive fencing.
