WSSC basketball athlete James completing explosive work via double leg bounding (continuous) for development of low load power (speed- strength), acceleration and speed. Plyometrics develop the third factor of WSSC maximal neuromuscular strength & power development which is the athletes stretch shorten cycle. By developing the athletes stretch shorten cycle via the muscle spindles (excitatory proprioceptor) the athlete develops the specific velocity encountered during sport = forces produced rapidly not over prolonged periods of time = teaching the cns to contract forcefully and rapidly! WSSC 5 areas of maximal strength & power development 1. Slow velocity strength - max strength ability vital ...facilitates all other bio motor qualities .,.not training force you are losing force 2. Fast velocity strength 3. SSC 4. Rate of force development 5. Inter muscular co ordination = motor learning /skill acquisition By developing the entire Force- velocity curve (strength, power, speed curve) and neuromuscular profile of the athlete this will allow the athlete to develop strength, power and enhance performance capacity = increase bounding distance. Due to sprinting being completed in a horizontal plane it is specific athletes complete both horizontal (explosive hip extension = developing the glute/ham complex) and vertical planes (box jumps, vertical jumps, squat jumps etc). This will lead to a more robust and well rounded strength profile of the athlete ...recruiting high threshold motor units ...quickly! Coaches tip; keep ground contact short and think of driving hips forward, landing mechanics vital = eccentric strength ! = injury prevention Contact WSSC for a science based approach.
