Title: REACTIVE STRENGTH


1
REACTIVE STRENGTH
  • ADRIAN FACCIONI
  • UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA
  • CENTRE FOR SPORTS STUDIES

2
REACTIVE STRENGTH
  • STRETCH SHORTENING CYCLE
  • STRETCH REFLEX
  • MYOTATIC REFLEX
  • PLYOMETRICS

3
REACTIVE STRENGTH
  • DEFN.
  • A CONCENTRIC CONTRACTION FOLLOWING A RAPID
    ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION RESULTS IN GREATER
    CONCENTRIC FORCE OUTPUT. (Cavagna et al 1965)

4
PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND REACTIVE STRENGTH.
  • LENGTHENING OF THE MUSCULOTENDINOUS SYSTEM.
    PRODUCES PASSIVE ELASTIC STRENGTH ADDED TO
    VOLUNTARY MUSCULAR STRENGTH.

5
PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND REACTIVE STRENGTH.
  • LENGTHENING OF THE MUSCLE ACTIVATES THE MUSCLE
    SPINDLE REFLEX WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO AN
    INVOLUNTARY MUSCULAR CONTRACTION COMBINED WITH
    THE VOLUNTARY CONTRACTION.

6
PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND REACTIVE STRENGTH.
  • INCREASED FORCE OUTPUT DUE TO THE LENGTH-TENSION
    RELATIONSHIP OF MUSCLE TISSUE.

7
PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND REACTIVE STRENGTH.
  • LONG TERM PLYOMETRIC TRAINING IS BELIEVED TO
    DECREASE THE INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF THE GOLGI
    TENDON ORGAN ALLOWING A GREATER MUSCLE STRETCH
    THEREFORE INCREASING THE RATE OF IMPULSE OF THE
    MUSCLE SPINDLE TO THE MOTOR UNIT.

8
LONG VS SHORT SSC.
  • SHORT SSC USED IN SPRINTING, GYMNASTS, JUMPERS,
    ETC.
  • LONG SSC (?) VOLLEYBALL JUMP, ETC.
  • I CLASSIFY THE LONG SSC AS AN EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH
    ACTIVITY RATHER THAN A REACTIVE STRENGTH ACTIVITY.

9
PROGRAM CONSIDERATIONS
  • SPECIFICITY
  • HORIZONTAL VS VERTICAL AND LATERAL MOVEMENTS.
  • HORIZONTAL MORE EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH UNLESS SPEED
    BOUND.
  • VERTICAL MOST INTENSE.
  • LATERAL IMPORTANT FOR Eg. TEAM SPORTS.

10
OTHER REACTIVE TRAINING METHODS.
  • OVERSPEED RUNNING (REACTIVE STRENGTH - NEURAL)
  • RESISTED RUNNING (EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH)
  • UPPER BODY REACTIVE STRENGTH
  • PUSHUPS, MEDBALL PASSES
  • SLIGHTLY HEAVIER IMPLEMENTS Eg. RACQUETS, BATS,
    CLUBS ETC.

11
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • TRAINING AGE OF THE ATHLETE.
  • ANY AGE. AS LONG AS LOW INTENSITY AND
    PROGRESSIVE.
  • VOLUME
  • 30-50 TOUCHDOWNS BEGINNING.
  • ONLY LIMITED BY PRIOR CONDITIONING. KEY IS
    QUALITY MUST BE EVIDENT AT ALL TIMES.

12
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • ORDER OF INTENSITY.
  • D/L VERTICAL (Low Impact)
  • A/L HORIZONTAL
  • D/L VERTICAL (High Impact)
  • S/L HORIZONTAL
  • S/ L VERTICAL (High Impact)
  • SHOCK JUMPS
  • DEPTH JUMPS (D/L - S/L)

13
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • INTENSITY.
  • MUST BE 100 AT ALL TIMES.
  • IF SPEED STRENGTH (EXPLOSIVE) JUMPS, THE
    INTENSITY CAN BE LESS.
  • FREQUENCY.
  • LIMITED TO 2-3 DAYS PER WEEK.

14
SQUAT PLYOMETRIC STUDY (OSHEA ET AL 1990)
  • SQUAT GROUP
  • 3.30CM IMPROVEMENT
  • PLYOMETRIC GROUP
  • 3.81CM IMPROVEMENT
  • SQUAT-PLYOMETRIC GROUP
  • 10.67CM IMPROVEMENT.

15
STRENGTH TRANSFER TO REACTIVE STRENGTH.
  • BALYI (1992) SUGGESTED THAT COMBINING SPEED RUNS
    WITH PLYOMETRIC JUMPS AND WEIGHTS MAXIMISED
    STRENGTH TRANSFER TO SPRINT PERFORMANCE.
  • ORDER MAX WEIGHTS-PLYOMETRIC JUMPS-MAXIMAL
    SPRINTS.

16
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • RECOVERY.
  • 3-8 MINUTES BETWEEN SETS.
  • 2-4 DAYS BETWEEN TRAINING SESSIONS.
  • STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS.
  • RUSSIANS 2-2.5 x BODY WEIGHT SQUAT
  • WHY? DEPTH JUMPS FROM 3.2m
  • MID-TORSO STRENGTH VERY IMPORTANT.

17
SCHMIDTBLEICHER AND GOLLHOFER (1988)
  • NEURAL INHIBITION JUST PRIOR TO GROUND CONTACT.
  • INCREASES STRESS ON SKELETAL SYSTEM.
  • WITH TRAINING INHIBITION DECREASES, MORE MUSCULAR
    SUPPORT WITH PLYOMETRICS.

18
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • INJURY CONTRAINDICATIONS.
  • PREVALENT IN ANKLE, KNEE, HIP AND LUMBAR/SACRAL
    REGION AND ANTERIOR AND LATERAL FASCIAL
    COMPARTMENTS OF LOWER LIMB.
  • OVERLOAD IS THE MAIN CONTRIBUTOR TO PLYOMETRIC
    INJURY. TOO MANY JUMPS, TOO INTENSE, INADEQUATE
    RECOVERY B/W SESSIONS, TOO MUCH OTHER DEMANDING
    MUSCULOSKELETAL TRAINING.

19
TRAINING/SAFETY GUIDELINES.
  • PERFORMANCE ERRORS.
  • IF HEEL TOUCHES THE GROUND
  • TOO MUCH COLLAPSE THROUGH KNEE AND HIP JOINT
  • NOT MAINTAINING SOLID PILLAR
  • TRAINING EQUIPMENT.
  • GOOD SHOES
  • SOLID SURFACE (SPRUNG FLOOR, TARTAN ETC.)

20
CUES FOR TEACHING PLYOMETRICS.
  • GROUND IS LIKE A HOT PLATE
  • ROCK SOLID THROUGH PILLAR REGION.
  • ANKLES STIFF AND RIDGID
