FLEXIBILITY
defined by Gummerson as "the absolute range of movement in a
joint or series of joints that is attainable in a momentary effort with
the help of a partner or a piece of equipment.“
➢ Decreased stress
➢ Improved performance
Static-Passive Flexibility
Static-passive flexibility (also called passive flexibility) is the ability
to assume extended positions and then maintain them using only
your weight, the support of your limbs, or some other apparatus
(such as a chair or a barre).
Static-Passive Flexibility
❑ external force on a relaxed muscle
the ability to move muscles and joints through their full range of
motion during active movement.
Dynamic Flexibility
Often many people prepare for activity by performing only static
stretching (i.e. golf, basketball, strength training) which actually
works against the best practices to prepare your muscles for
optimum activation.
A great lower body dynamic
stretching routine prior to activity is:
1. Body Weight Squats to Calf Raise 1 set x 10 reps
This style of training has also called dynamic or explosive training; however, both
of these terms are inappropriate as the term dynamic can be applied to any
exercise that involves movement (i.e. not isometric) and athletes can apply
explosive force during early parts of an exercise but reduce the effort near the
end.
Why is ballistic training
important for sport?
Power, defined as the ability to express high levels of force in
short periods of time, encompasses movements such as
pedaling, sprinting, jumping, changing direction, pushing,
pulling, throwing, and kicking and therefore applies to the
vast majority of sports.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR
BALLISTIC TRAINING
o Optimal load - The resistance used for ballistic training causes specific changes to the
force-velocity relationship, which then changes the degree to which power output is
improved.
o Intent - Given that ballistic training concentrates on the velocity of the load, it is the
intent to lift the load as fast as possible that seems to be the mechanism by which
neurological and physiological adaptations occur.
o Safety - the use of ballistic training methods for improving the athletic capabilities of
athletes is highly effective, the high eccentric forces experienced by the athlete when
landing from a jump or catching a falling weight may pose a safety concern
Active Isolated Stretching
is a technique that lengthens and strengthens muscle tissue.
Benefits of Active Isolated
Stretching
1. Increased isolated flexibility
Isometric exercises are ideal for those with limited workout space,
existing knee discomfort, or anyone simply needing a change in
their typical fitness routine.
