Plyometric training is a field of physical training that deals with exercises which force muscles to exert maximum force during short intervals of time, allowing your muscles to increase in power. This is also often referred to as “jump training” as jumping is a major component. What do you know about it?

Distance
- 3.The part of the mechanical model that is the workhorse of the plyometric model is known as the ______________.
- 4.The __________________ involves a change in the force-velocity characteristics of the muscle's contractile components caused by stretch

Stretch spindles
- B.
Stretch fibers

- A.
Amortization phase
