PHTY203 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Bench Press, Plyometrics, One-Repetition Maximum
Document Summary
Initial improvements in power have been shown to relate to improved muscle coordination.

Explain the clinical implications of plyometric exercise: can be used to increase power and muscle co-ordination, uses the natural elastic recoil elements of human muscle and the neurological stretch reflex to produce a stronger, faster muscle response. Describe the recommendations for plyometric prescription including consideration of safety: guidelines for plyometric training according to the national strength and conditioning.
