The fact is that this does remain a plyometric exercise. The loading of the muscle occurs just before take off (watch how Holm's height lowers while he transfers his bodyweight onto his left foot) and then he explodes to complete the cycle with the jump. Plyometric exercises only require for the individual to improve maximal power. If you keep on regurgitating the terminology from the book i.e. (myotatic reflex, amortization phase etc) I believe you possess no real understanding beyond the book.
@scotland1989able I coach athletes so if you are a normal person my comment is not intended for you. Remember scottie there are people trying to improve the potential of younger athletes so the science behind this sort of stuff will be discussed time to time.
Naah, the gravity is the same all over the globe. But, gravity feels higher here in Sweden since we are closer to the north pole. The closer you are to the equator, the lighter you'll feel because of the centrifugal forces trying to throw the body off. =)
@Invalidstyrkan That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. Gravity has nothing to do with the spin of the earth and any miniscule centrifugal force generated by the relatively slow rotating earth (when compared to its radius) is completely unnoticeable, even when comparing the poles to the equator..
Pangbourne is right, although he could've stated it a bit nicer. Plyometrics are drills that involve the myotatic (or stretch) reflex. This exercise does not include the myotatic reflex and is therefore not a plyometric exercise. That obviously doesn't mean the exercise is useless though.
@ErwinJumps technically speaking it is not plyometric, but it does involve the stretch reflex, or more correctly, the stretch-shortening cycle. A plyometric exercise is simply one in whioch the athlete attempts to do two things: spend as little time on the ground as possible, and use maximal jump efforts for height or distance. Stefan uses this drill to reinforce two critical skills in his high jump take-off: his body posture at take-off and his knee drive.
Obviously, I meant that plyometric drills train the myotatic (or stretch) reflex.
Plyometric drills do not require you to spend as little time on the ground as possible. For example, one of the most basic plyometric exercises, the depth drop, doesn't even require you to jump after the landing.
A depth drop, or any other exercise that does not include a concentric component (in this case, a subsequent jump) does not result in a complete stretch-shortening cycle although it may, in fact, elicit a myotatic reflex. Therefore by your own definition (albeit incomplete), a depth drop is not a plyometric exercise.
If you are going to stick by the letter of your definition, that all the exercise has to do is elicit a stretch reflex, then the doctor's patellar reflex is plyometric.
The goal of any plyometric exercise is to maximize the natural use of the stretch shortening cycle in an athletic skill, such as sprinting, jumping or throwing. In order to correctly utilize the advantageous biophysical properties of the stretch-shortening cycle, the subject needs to minimize the time spent during the amortization phase of the exercise (ground reaction time).
For an exercise to be considered "plyometric" both of these characteristics need to be present: limited amortization phase and maximal concentric action. This exercise is not intended to be, nor does it meet the criteria of 'plyometric'.
If you think a depth drop isn't a plyometric exercise, then I don't know what to tell you.
Since a depth drop DOES train the myotatic reflex, it is in fact a plyometric exercise.
If you don't agree on the definition of a plyometric exercise (my definition being: a plyometric exercise trains the myotatic reflex), that's fine. But don't go telling people that a depth drop doesn't train the myotatic reflex, because it does.
And yes, the patellar reflex is plyometric. It doesn't cause overload though, which is the basic principle of training. Therefore, it is not a plyometric EXERCISE.
We will have to agree to disagree on what constitutes 'plyometric'. Any time you want to compare resume's let me know. I am confident in my pedigree and credential. Are you?
