It is characterized by an intense muscular contraction that is preceded by a relaxed state. <br><br>Stepping off a box (not jumping, as the thigh muscles must be relaxed during the fll) and immediately rebounding upward upon landing is considered an example of a shock training exercise for the lower body. Performing Marine Corps push-ups where you clap your hands, land, and then immediately perform another repetition is an example of shock training for the upper body. One of the characteristics of shock training is a brief transition phase, which is the pause that occurs immediately after the eccentric phase ends and before the concentric phase begins. Such dynamic activity is required to take advantage of two processes: 1) the reflex increase in muscle tension caused by the sudden impact stimulus, and 2) the release of elastic energy stored in the tendons and muscles developed during the eccentric phase energy that can be refocused to help an athlete jump higher and farther and run faster. As illustrated in Figure 1, a delay as long as .25 seconds would prevent the athlete from being able to use that energy, and the activity would have to be regarded as low- or medium-level plyometrics. Says Siff,  A useful visualization of shock training is to imagine that the surface being touched by the hands or feet during the plyometric contact phase is red hot, so that any prolonged contact would be dangerous. Verkhoshansky s research has revealed that shock training is the most effective type of plyometrics<DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=center><STRONG>IV.&nbsp;MEASUREMENT:</STRONG>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=center>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I believe in measuring the Vertical Jump and Standing Long Jump once or twice a month.&nbsp; This is especially true at the high school level.&nbsp; I have to reasons:&nbsp; First, is that sheer practice will help an athlete learn jumping skills.&nbsp; Second, an athlete needs to have this feed back for motivation.&nbsp; If he/she is working hard on strength, flexibility and ploymetric drills, frequent feedback will demonstrate that all the hard work is paying off.&nbsp; A jump increase of one or two inches can be rejuvenating and keep your championship vision alive.&nbsp; </DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>I highly recommend our "Just Jump and Run".&nbsp; You can get a highly accurate Vertical Jump measurement about once every five seconds.&nbsp; All you have to do is read the result.&nbsp; Kids can even test kids.&nbsp; The "Just Jump and Run" can certainly stimulate a lot of interest in jumping and it's a whole lot of fun.</DIV> <DIV align=left><STRONG>&nbsp;</STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV align=left>&nbsp;</DIV>id I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accep
