Cards

Term
aerobic base training
Definition
designed to increase an athlete's endurance base, maximal oxygen consumption, and tissue respiration capacity
Term
duration
Definition
length of time a workout lasts, should be realted aerobic needs of competition and training
Term
volume
Definition
time, reps and/or distances covered, should be balanced with other training modes, and practice/competitive schedule
Term
stretch shortening cycle (SSC)
Definition
the coupling of an eccentric action with a concentric action; links sprinting, jumpin and changing direction
Term
mechanical model (SSC)
Definition
describes contractile and noncontractile elements
Term
neuromuscular model (SSC)
Definition
suggests that preactivation of a muscle or muscle group is partially responsible for the force and power potentiation during the concentric phase
Term
contractile elements
Definition
contained within the sarcomere of a muscle; consist of actin and myosin
Term
noncontractile elements
Definition
consist of the series elastic component (SEC), also known as the muscle-tendon unit, and the parallel elastic componenet (PEC)
Term
muscle spindles
Definition
contain several intrafusal fibers that are arranged in parallel with extrafusal fibers; they provide information regarding muscle length
Term
golgi tendon organs (GTOs)
Definition
located in the muscle-tendon complex and monitor tension; this provides an inhibitory reflex on motor neurons of the agonist muscle
Term
reciprocal innervation 
Definition
reflexes that stimulate agonists while simultaneously inhibiting antagonists
Term
agility
Definition
an efficient, coordinated movement in multiple planes performed at multiple velocities
