Hi Matt...regarding vertical jump using counter movements, I think the height reached is not only because of the stretch shortening cycle in legs but also by the help of the arms. So if the arms are trained also the height will increase. Thanks for the information.
Hi there! So if my goal is, for example an acrobatics, where I start from a squatting position, so not much space for the stretch shortening cycle to happen, then maybe the best idea would be to practir seated box jumps or things of that sort so that I don't make that much use of the SSC?
@@TheMovementSystem Ok thanks. Just to clarify if I am doing an exercise slow on the eccentric phase and then fast on the concentric phase, would that activate the stretch cycle? And then if I perform both eccentric and concentric phase slow, that would not activate the stretch shorten cycle?
Slow eccentric would take away the stretch shortening cycle. It would be focusing on the concentric muscle action and potentially improve that, but you wouldn't be improving the stretch shortening cycle.
Sir if my goal is to improve explosiveness. Should I use the SSC? Or should I eliminate them by doing concentric only or dead stop training? I Hope you notice me sir. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hey! What is your opinion on Over the time proprioception of the Vertical jump for a particular individual rather than a particular standard technique? Just want to know what do you have to say on this. Amazing content btw! 🙌
Where I get the terms confused is between Stretch Shortening Cycle and ESC...Is it safe to say that ECS is part of the mechanical component and the SSC is a combination of the neuro, mechanical and muscular components?
I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to ECS? Elastic components in series?? If that’s what ECS means then yes it’s the mechanical components tendon/ fascia/ connective tissue
thanks ! it's so informative and really hope to see lots of video about how to increse vertical jump. As far as I know 「Power=Force x velocity」 , I have the following points to work on 1. increase Maximal Strength 2. increase rate of force development (strength-speed、Power peak、speed-strength ex: olympic lifting、speeding deadlift、speeding squat jump) 3. Master the Stretch-Shortening Cycle (Plyometric Traning ex: depth jump、drop jump、pogo jump , etc) Can you please give some more suggestions ? Thanks
You said training stretch shortening cycle increase stiffness in muscle. Does that mean that we will benefit from not streching our muscles regularly in order to have increased stiffness?? or that is completely different?
@@SportifyTVofficial Resistance to deformation. So after plyometric training your muscles/tendons can absorb force with less joint excursion. For example you can do a depth jump with shorter ground contact and less knee bend jumping higher.
@@PhotonGames Yea as long as you aren't doing a lot of training in a small range of motion or only training isometrics then you likely won't see any loss of flexibility from strength training
Is there anyway you could explain how to do this with your arms such using your shoulder ? I box and Joe Louis talked about this in his book back in 1948

LITERALLY PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE NOW THANK YOU!
I just passed the exam an hour ago. Your videos helped me understand the CSCS book deeper. THANK YOU!
Congrats! Glad the videos were helpful for your studying
i also have an essay about the SSC in my issa S&C certification exam
CSCS? im studying for nasm and i had to look this up
@@JimmyWayne7 YUP!
Great video watched the whole way through!
Thanks for watching
Love these Videos brotha
Thanks bro!
Amazing!! Thank you!
Excellent, thanks!
Thank you coach 😊
Very helpful

Yea it sounds like concentric specific training like jumps from a pause squat position or box might be helpful for that
Is the stretch shorten cycle only activated through pyrometric exercises or can it be activated through strengthen exercise as well?
The primary driver of activating the muscle spindles is rate of stretch. So it’s really just prevalent in movements that involve a fairly fast stretch
@@TheMovementSystem Ok thanks. Just to clarify if I am doing an exercise slow on the eccentric phase and then fast on the concentric phase, would that activate the stretch cycle? And then if I perform both eccentric and concentric phase slow, that would not activate the stretch shorten cycle?
what would be too low for a depth jump
Therefore there is no need for one to actively dorsiflex the foot throughout running.
True. Good body angle and mechanics should take care of the push off
And tempo
Bro, you are a smart dude. You teach at university?

Do slow eccentrics with fast concentrics help vertical jump?
Slow eccentric would take away the stretch shortening cycle. It would be focusing on the concentric muscle action and potentially improve that, but you wouldn't be improving the stretch shortening cycle.
@@TheMovementSystem so does that mean it won't help my vertical jump???
Does static stretch ruin my explosiveness?
No. Static stretching may have a short term effect of decreasing activity of the stretch shortening cycle but it does not last long.
Sir if my goal is to improve explosiveness. Should I use the SSC? Or should I eliminate them by doing concentric only or dead stop training? I Hope you notice me sir. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Yea you definitely want to train the SSC for explosiveness.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE! I just finished deadlifts and box jumps.! I need more power, speed and force! :) It really works :)
💪🏼
This guy looks like Flume, the record producer/dj.
great explanation man, love the channel ‼️
Well explained , easy to understand !
Thanks!

You said training stretch shortening cycle increase stiffness in muscle. Does that mean that we will benefit from not streching our muscles regularly in order to have increased stiffness?? or that is completely different?
That's different. Stretching doesn't make the muscles less stiff it just increases extensibility/ range of motion or how far you can stretch
@@TheMovementSystem so if stiffness doesn't mean less extensibility what it means?
@@SportifyTVofficial Resistance to deformation. So after plyometric training your muscles/tendons can absorb force with less joint excursion. For example you can do a depth jump with shorter ground contact and less knee bend jumping higher.
So would the increased stiffness lead to less flexibility?
Flexibility largely comes from extensibility of the muscle not the tendon. Also the forces are very different.
@@TheMovementSystem Ok thanks, so I can train both without worrying?
@@PhotonGames Yea as long as you aren't doing a lot of training in a small range of motion or only training isometrics then you likely won't see any loss of flexibility from strength training
Really good stuff. Nice explanation.

Love this video, thank you. One question, does the SSC have anything to do with Post-activation Potentiation?
Yes it does. I actually did a video on PAP: ruclips.net/video/AgfSsQFVJYI/видео.html
