History

The setting is 1960’s Russia during the winter. Temperatures are freezing, the

wind is howling, and a young jumps coach from the Moscow Aeronautical Institute

named Yuri Verkhoshansky was in charge of devising a training plan for Olympic

athletes. Previously, Russian athletes had been encouraged to either participate in winter

sports such as skating, or to jump around outside in the snow. Neither was ideal for

competing against the best athletes in the world. On one particularly cold day where no

outdoor training was possible, Yuri found a barbell and a small area where they could

work out, which happened to be under a set of stairs. Introducing a set of conditioning

exercises, he modified the routine to make the exercises more specific to jumpers as time

went on. In the spring, he found that the exercises had been of great benefit to the

jumpers, and “shock therapy” was born. Jumpers and sprinters from Russia and other

eastern European countries began to dominate in the Olympics for much of the late

1960’s and early 1970’s. A group of American coaches, confounded by the success of

these athletes, decided to travel there and investigate. Bringing back the knowledge of

this unconventional training method, Fred Wilt named the activity plyometrics. Plyo

means “to increase,” and metric means “to measure.” In short, plyometrics is an activity

that leads to a measured increase in athletic performance. Today, it is one of the most

widely used training and conditioning methods in the world, from football to basketball

to running and sprinting. Although coaches have been using the activity for years to

prepare athletes, Tony Horton’s P90X included a plyometric workout that vastly

increased the popularity of the concept to the general public. Even for the average

nonathlete, plyometrics can be beneficial. Incorporated into your normal fitness routine,

it can lead to increased balance, endurance, strength of muscles and connective tissues, a

boost in metabolism due to the sheer intensity of the exercises, and a massive calorie

burn. Most importantly, however, it really increases your confidence to push your body’s

limits and make measurable progress. The human body is an amazing thing, and

plyometrics really helps us get the most out of it.

Equipment

Boxes – Many of these exercises require a sturdy box, an aerobic step, a stair, or a bleacher to jump on to.

Medicine balls – Although most of these exercises only require body weight in order to achieve results, adding a medicine ball can increase the difficulty.

Cones – Useful as targets. Yoga mat – If you want a clean, non-slip surface this can be a useful tool.

Music – Especially in an intense workout like this, music can be a crucial motivating tool to help you fight for that extra rep

Stopwatch – Many exercises are performed for a set amount of time, and having a stopwatch is both easier and more effective than counting in your head.

Heart rate monitor – For inexperienced athletes, a heart rate monitor can tell you when to push yourself harder and when to ease up. Even for experienced athletes, a heart rate monitor can help you push yourself to the next level.

Notebook – It is important to track your progress from workout to workout. Goal setting is one of the most important aspects of improving physical performance, and writing down where you’ve been helps you figure out where you’re going.

A positive, enthusiastic attitude!

The Human Body

Depending upon who you talk to, there are between 650 and 850 muscles in the human body. These range from the cardiac muscle of your heart, to the smooth muscle of your digestive organs, to the skeletal muscle that we typically think of when we hear the word “muscle.”

On the next few pages, I will be discussing the major muscle groups that we are aiming to target with our plyometric workouts.

Note, these are NOT all the muscles we will be working in these unit. However, these are the large muscles and muscle groups that we will be focusing on and are important to know a little bit about. This being said, let’s continue on to the rules for this activity…

Rules

For the instructor… Give students ample time to grasp any move Visually determine that most students can perform the move you are teaching

before going on to a new movement It is important to communicate proper body alignment and technique to the

student Be sure to set down protocols for what to do in the event of an injury Give students frequent water breaks and slow the pace if students are struggling.

For the students… Proper attire should always be worn. This includes athletic shoes and clothing that

allows for free movement Listen and follow all commands of the instructor Use all equipment properly Do not touch other participants unless asked to by the instructor If you feel exhausted or light headed, alert the teacher immediately Only do what you are capable of! If you don’t think you can handle an activity, use

variation to make the exercise easier, or return to a march if that’s still too hard. If it’s too easy, use variation to make the exercise appropriate for your level of fitness.

For plyometrics… Students should land softly, like a cat, to avoid unnecessary stress or even injury from

this high impact activity Warm up thoroughly before starting Start slowly with jumps and gradually build up Always work large muscle groups before working smaller muscle groups Be sure to work opposing muscle groups Breathe! Get those muscles the oxygen they need. Never hold your breath Cool down and stretch at the conclusion of your workout

Terminology

Aerobic: 15 minutes or more of exercise done in your target heart rate zone. An example is long-distance running.

Aerobic cool-down: The period at the end of an exercise session in which intensity is reduced to bring down the heart rate.

Agonist: a muscle that is directly responsible for the joint movement observed

Alignment: The relationship of the body segments to one another. Proper alignment features balanced agonist and antagonist muscle pairs.

Anaerobic: Short burst of exercise. For example, 40 yard dash or power-lifting.

Antagonist: A muscle that acts in opposition to the action produced by an agonist muscle.

Atrophy: Wasting of muscle size resulting from disuse.

Ballistic Stretching: A stretch using rapid, bouncing movements.

Basic loco-motor steps: These are considered to be walking, running, hopping, and jumping.

Cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF): Related to the capacity of the heart-lung system to deliver oxygen for sustained energy production, CRF is the ability to perform large muscle movement over a sustained period.

Carotid pulse: An arterial pulse point located in the neck about one inch below the jaw line, next to the esophagus.

Concentric muscle action: Contraction of muscle that causes the muscle to shorten.

Endurance lifting: performing 8-12 repetitions before reaching momentary muscular failure

Exercise intensity: the specific level of physical activity at which a person exercises that can be quantified (example: heart rate) and is usually reflected as a percentage of one’s maximal capacity to do work.

Flexibility: The possible range of motion around any joint.

Hypertrophy: Increase in muscle size due to overloading

Page 17: aha - Weeblytreavor16.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/6/4/2264873/plyometri…  · Web viewaha. By Treavor Gelsinger History. The setting is 1960’s Russia during the winter. Temperatures

Lactic acid: A by-product of glucose metabolism that builds up during a workout, producing fatigue and soreness.

Momentary muscular failure: A point at which your muscles are too fatigued to perform any more repetitions.

Muscular endurance: The capacity of a muscle to exert repeated force.

Muscular strength: The maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle of muscle group.

Overloading: Lifting more than the body is used to. Muscle growth occurs as a result of muscle fibers being damaged and then repairing themselves, so to grow muscle there is a continual process of damage followed by repair through the use of overloading.

Rating of perceived exertion (RPE): A scale that correlates the participant’s perception of exercise effort with the actual intensity level

Repetition: Performing an exercise completely one time

Resting heart rate: The number of heartbeats per minute after the body has been at complete rest for at least 10 minutes.

Set: Performing as many repetitions as you can during a certain amount of time, or performing as many repetitions as you can before reaching momentary muscular failure.

Static stretching: A stretch that holds the desired muscle under tension without pain for at least 15 to 30 seconds.

Strength lifting: Performing 5-8 reps before reaching momentary muscular failure

Talk test: A method for measuring exercise intensity using observation of respiration effort and the ability to talk while exercising.

Target heart rate: The number of heartbeats per minute that indicates appropriate exercise intensity levels for each person. Also called training heart rate.

Target heart rate range: The exercise intensity that represents the minimum and maximum intensity for safe and effective exercise. Also referred to as training zone.

Tone lifting: Performing 12-20 repetitions before reaching momentary muscular failure

Warm-up: The early phase of a workout or exercise session designed to ready the body for vigorous activity.

Lead up activities

1) Name of Activity: Body Composition TagPurpose of Activity: To reinforce the concept of body composition and the importance of having a healthy body composition. Prerequisites: Knowledge about body composition: body composition is the amount of fat cells compared with lean cells in the body mass; lean body mass is the nonfat tissue of muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons; its important to have a certain amount of body fat: not too much and not too little; to have good body composition one needs to be physically active, have proper nutrition, and rest. Materials Needed: 2 cones to post signs, two marked off areas for safe zones, scarves or some type of identification for fat cells to hand off once tagged by someone else. Description of Idea: Have 2-3 fat cells that are the taggers (they hold the scarves to identify they are "it"). Everyone else is lean body tissue. There are two areas located in the gym that are safe zones. They are identified as nutrition and rest. The lean body tissues can use these safe zones to prevent getting tagged. There can only be 2 people per safe zone and they can stay for 15 seconds or less. The students who enter the nutrition zone have to name a nutritional food (to the teacher) to be able to stay in for the full 15 seconds. If they do not name a nutritional food, they must leave the safe zone immediately. The objective is for the fat cells to tag lean body tissue. If a fat cell tags a lean body tissue then the lean body tissue becomes a fat cell and the fat cell becomes lean body tissue. When the fat cells tag a lean body tissue, they give the new fat cell their scarf. Remember, good body composition contains three traits: physically active, nutritional food and right amount of rest.Variations: Increase / decrease the number of fats cells, depending on the class size. Increase / decrease the amount of time allowed in the safe zone. Try to keep the entire class active and moving!

2) Name of Activity: Muscle MatchPrerequisites: Knowledge of muscles in body, examples of stretches for specific muscles. Materials Needed: A gymnastics mat or sectioned off area for the Muscle Mat; One large picture or drawing each of 10 different muscles; a separate picture or drawing of a corresponding stretch for each of the 10 muscles pictured above. Description of Idea: Lay out all the pictures (muscles and stretches) face down on the gym floor. Place the Muscle Mat off to the side, away from the papers. Students skip around looking at the pieces of paper, sneakily, and placing them back where they found them. The students must find a match (a muscle and its corresponding stretch). When a student finds a match he/she must run to the Muscle Mat and call out “Muscle Match!”. On that cue, the class will stop skipping and face the Muscle Mat. The student will then point out the match. Teacher flips them over. If correct, the whole class must do that stretch with the appropriate muscle for 10 seconds. If incorrect, the teacher leads the whole class in the appropriate stretch for the muscle (stretch won’t be the one on the card). Continue until the students find all matches or time is up.Variations: Extend this into a homework assignment or research project. They can search for additional stretches for that muscle. Then, they can teach it to the class.

Page 19: aha - Weeblytreavor16.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/6/4/2264873/plyometri…  · Web viewaha. By Treavor Gelsinger History. The setting is 1960’s Russia during the winter. Temperatures

Assessment Ideas: Students will demonstrate knowledge of which stretch goes with which muscle when they can identify/find the muscle that goes with the stretch and vice versa. Also, assess how students stretch. When stretching as a class, observe if students are stretching the right muscles and if they are stretching it in the right way (no bouncing or bobbing).Teaching Suggestions: Begin with 6 muscles and a stretch for each. Increase the number of muscles and stretches each year or as each grade increases knowledge.

3) Name of Activity: Nutrition FitnessPrerequisites: Students will need to know how many servings of each section of the food pyramid are appropriate to eat per day. Materials Needed: Lots of 3x5 index cards (number varies based on class size); 8 poster boards with an easy-to-read food pyramid guide on one half, and velcro attachments set up in the shape of the food pyramid on the other half; one dome cone for each index card. Description of Idea: The purpose of this activity is to review the appropriate servings from the food pyramid. Students will engage in physical activity through this warm-up using teamwork and cooperation.1. Students are divided into teams of 8 (size of teams depends on class size).2. Scatter 3x5 index cards in the center of the gym with a dome cone covering each one. Write the name of a food on the front of each card and a fitness activity on the back (for instance, apple on the front and 5 lunges on the back). Attach velcro to all of the cards, so students will be able to velcro them to their team pyramid.3. Place the teams around the perimeter of the area--each with one of the poster boards.4. When the music starts, each team sends 1 person to the center to pick up any card (from under a dome cone) and bring it back to the group. The group looks at the food and if it will fit on their pyramid, they velcro it on. Repeat (send a new group member for another card).5. If they do not need any more servings from that food group, they complete the fitness activity (on the back of the card) together. The person that picked the card up originally, takes it back. Repeat (send a new group member for another card).6. Teacher should check pyramids for accuracy when student's complete activity.Assessment Ideas: Have students turn completed pyramid in for a group grade.Teaching Suggestions: Review the amount of servings that are appropriate from each section of the pyramid. Discuss the importance of keeping junk food and desserts to a minimum. Discuss how the group worked as a team in determining the appropriate servings and correct areas to place cards on their pyramid.

4) Name of Activity: “Deal or No Deal”Prerequisites: Understanding of how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Page 20: aha - Weeblytreavor16.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/6/4/2264873/plyometri…  · Web viewaha. By Treavor Gelsinger History. The setting is 1960’s Russia during the winter. Temperatures

Description of Idea: Each Friday before our lesson, we play "Deal" or "No Deal" as an Instant Activity. I am "Howie" and will call different students up one by one to play "Deal or No Deal." I call out a particular exercise that we will be playing for, such as 15 Jumping Jacks. After calling out the exercise, I ask the student "Deal" or "No Deal" using hand gestures as seen on the actual show. If the student says "Deal", he/she accepts the exercise and stays up in front to lead the class in that exercise. But if he/she says "No Deal", he/she will play Howie in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. If the student wins, the class doesn't have to perform that exercise. But if Howie wins, he/she stays up in front of the class to lead the exercise. Select 5 or 6 students each week to play the game. The classes love it when they beat Howie!

5) Name of Activity: TOG (Jog-Tag) Prerequisites: Students must have skills in chasing, fleeing and dodging Suggested Grade Level: 6-12 Materials Needed: Pinnies to identify the taggers Description of Idea: The activity takes place on a track or around the outside perimeter of a gym. Two or three taggers start at one end of the track while the rest of the class starts at the opposite end. All students (including taggers) are instructed to run in one direction around the track. On the signal, the students begin to run. The taggers work to catch up with the rest of the students. Once a student is tagged, they turn and jog on the outer edges of the circle, running in the opposite direction of the students who have not been tagged yet. This allows them to stay safely out of the chase, and also allows everyone to see who is left to be tagged. Eventually taggers and students lap each other, causing students to develop tactics for getting passed the tagger. Taggers are allowed to turn and tag someone behind them, but not run in the opposite direction.It often gets interesting as one student will wait for another to be a decoy, then several students will race by the tagger. When only 2 or 3 students remain, they become the new taggers. The new taggers put the pinnies on, and the game begins again. Often 2 rounds will last about 5 minutes and the students get a tremendous aerobic workout without feeling as though they've been made to run continuously for several minutes.Assessment Ideas: Have students take their heart rate to see if they have acheived an exercise heart rate.

6) Name of Activity: Tic-Tac-ToePrerequisites: Students must know how to play Tic-Tac-Toe Materials Needed: 1 Paper with several Tic-Tac-Toe squares that are filled with appropriate warm-up activities for age group and 1 pencil per pair of students Description of Idea: Children divide into partners and get a sheet of paper with tic-tac-toe squares on it. In each square is a description of a warm up activity/exercise. The child with the nearest birthday goes first and picks a square. Both children have to do that activity and then the first child marks an X in the square. The next child picks a square for both children to do and then puts an O in the square. The game continues until one of the children gets tic-tac-toe or it is a draw. If a pair of partners completes their game before everyone else allow them to play again with the second child going first.

7) Name of Activity: “Spot on” Fit is It! Suggested Grade Level: 4 - 8

Page 21: aha - Weeblytreavor16.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/6/4/2264873/plyometri…  · Web viewaha. By Treavor Gelsinger History. The setting is 1960’s Russia during the winter. Temperatures

Materials Needed: 25-30 poly spots, CD Player and music Description of IdeaThe game is set up using the basketball court as the boundaries. The poly spots are scattered inside the basketball court. Each student gets a partner and stands together outside the boundary line. One partner will begin when the music plays. He/she will run and touch a certain number of spots with his/her foot. Teacher gives the the number of spots to be touched before the music begins. The student may not touch the same spot twice. While one partner is doing this, the other is doing a fitness exercise from one of the 4 fitness components, such as crunches, until the partner returns. As soon as the partner returns, they switch. This continues until the music stops. When the music stops, give a new number and a new fitness exercise. Play the music for them to resume play. This is a continuous activity until the music stops. Have the students check his/her heart rate throughout the activity.Variations: Have middle schoolers select the exercise to be done on side-line from a list found on a poster board. They can not repeat any activity.
