Episode 37: Plyometrics—Get More Bang for your Bones
998 Plays
1 year agoWelcome to Episode 37 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel and Sarah talk about the connection between plyometrics, impact training, and bone building.
You will learn:
- The difference between plyometrics and impact training.
- What we need to consider if we are using plyometrics and/or impact training to increase bone density.
- What the stretch-shortening cycle is and why it is important for plyometric exercise.
- The phases of the stretch-shortening cycle, and why the amortization phase must be short for an exercise to be plyometric.
- The differences and similarities between ballistic exercises and plyometric exercises (according to scientific and non-scientific sources).
- The mechanical and neurophysiological components of the stretch-shortening cycle.
- Exercises that utilize the stretch-shortening cycle and whether or not they are conducive to bone-building.
- Exercises that are not plyometric, but still build bone density.
- How to modulate intensity in plyometric exercise.
- What the appropriate volume is for plyometric exercise for beginners.
