Power training
Power training trains the CNS.
Plyometrics and power related
activity dont do a whole lot to assist
in muscular hypertrophy, although
they can complement weightlifting
activities in the goal of achieving
increased functional cross-sectional
area of muscle.
Methods of power
development in power training
Isometric Method: weights lifted
quickly
Ballistic Method: medicine ball
throws
Power Resisting Method:
accumulate/release weightlifting
Plyometric Method: plyometric and
shock work

Weightlifting parameters
Power/Resistance and
oscillatory isometrics
Oscillatory isometrics are a close
relative to the power release method.
In OIs, the athlete will generate
maximal isometric tension on their
own, and then completely relax and
allow the muscle group to act
reflexively.
Examples
Plyometric method
We have already learned much of
plyometrics in class.
For this lecture we will cover the
intensity level of a few different
types of plyometric activities.
Reactive power
Throwing power
Jumping power
Starting power
Acceleration power
