Description
Summary:EFFICIENT STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE (SSC) MECHANICS RESULT IN ENERGY CONSERVATION AND ENHANCED PROPULSIVE FORCES. BASED ON THE CURRENT REVIEW OF RESEARCH, ELASTIC ENERGY THROUGH TENDON RECOIL AND AN INCREASE IN ACTIVE STATE BECAUSE OF AN INCREASE IN THE WORKING RANGE SEEM THE MOST PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR THE SSC MECHANISM. USING THE RESEARCH PRESENTED, THE SSC MECHANISM MAY BE BEST DEVELOPED USING THE PLYOMETRICS PYRAMID ENSURING THAT THE ATHLETE IS TECHNICALLY COMPETENT AT EACH STAGE BEFORE PROGRESSING IN INTENSITY AND COMPLEXITY. STRENGTH TRAINING AND SSC TRAINING SHOULD BE PERFORMED CONCURRENTLY. SSC DRILLS SHOULD BE BASED ON STRENGTH CAPACITIES AND SPORT-SPECIFIC VARIABLES. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
