  2. Complex training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_training

    ‘The way complex training works, in theory, is that the isometric part of the exercise will cause the muscle fibers which are typically recruited for a given movement to become fatigued. The sport specific plyometric movement which immediately follows the isometric movement will then require the neuromuscular system to recruit new muscle ...

  3. Isoinertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoinertial

    The isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and ...

  4. Strength training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_training

    Strength training, also known as weight training or resistance training, involves the performance of physical exercises that are designed to improve physical strength. It is often associated with the lifting of weights. It can also incorporate a variety of training techniques such as bodyweight exercises, isometrics, and plyometrics. [1]

  5. Isometric exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_exercise

    An isometric exercise is an exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint. The term "isometric" combines the Greek words isos (equal) and -metria (measuring), meaning that in these exercises the length of the muscle and the angle of the joint do not change, though contraction ...

  7. Open kinetic chain exercises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_kinetic_chain_exercises

    Open chain exercises (OKC) are exercises that are performed where the hand or foot is free to move. The opposite of OKC are closed kinetic chain exercises (CKC). Both are effective for strengthening and rehabilitation objectives. [1]

  8. Power training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_training

    Power training may also involve contrasting exercises such as heavy lifts and plyometrics, known as complex training, in an attempt to combine the maximal lifting exertions with dynamic movements. This combination of a high strength exercise with a high speed exercise may lead to an increased ability to apply power.

  9. Plyometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyometrics

    The athlete usually sinks (drops) too low which takes too long to make the transition from the eccentric to the concentric contraction. As a result, the exercise becomes a jump-strength exercise and not a true plyometric one. Jump technique remains the same regardless of whether it is a true plyometric exercise or a jump exercise.
