Stretching Techniques

Dynamic Stretching

Dynamic stretching is a training method widely used in gyms, utilizing springs. No plates are used; the objective is to improve physical condition by increasing the range of motion.

Ballistic Stretching

Ballistic stretching uses methods similar to dynamic stretching but involves more exaggerated muscle movement. It also produces the normal myotatic reflex and must be monitored carefully as it carries a higher risk of muscle injury.

Benefits of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching

  • More motivating and less boring than static stretching.
  • Develops dynamic flexibility.

Disadvantages of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching

  • Tissue adaptation is momentary.
  • Increases the risk of injuries.
  • Triggers the stretch reflex.

Passive

Flexibility Work Recommendations

To improve flexibility, it's essential to work on specific muscle groups and joints.

Effects of Flexibility on the Nervous System

Flexibility improves the quality and speed of stimuli, through which nerves reach the muscles to act.

Understanding Breathing

Breathing is the process by which gas exchange occurs, facilitating the oxygen necessary for sustaining life and the output of carbon dioxide. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's pH balance.

Controlling Breathing

Breathing can be controlled both physically and mentally. It is the only vital function that escapes the split between voluntary and involuntary control.

Phases of Respiration

  • Expiration: Of great importance, since expelling the stale air

Volleyball Fundamentals

Game Objective

The primary objective in volleyball is to win three out of five sets to secure the match victory. Teams aim to prevent the opposing team from successfully returning the ball.

Playing Area

A standard volleyball court is rectangular, measuring 18 x 9 meters. It is divided in half by a net, which spans the 9-meter width of the court.

Team Composition

Volleyball teams typically consist of 12 players. Six players start the match on the court, while the remaining players are on the bench. The coach is permitted to make up to six substitutions in each set.

Player Roles

Speed: Definition and Core Concepts

Speed is the quality that allows an individual to perform motor actions in the shortest possible time and with maximum efficiency.

Phases of a Speed Race

  • Reaction: The initial response to a stimulus.
  • Acceleration: The phase of increasing velocity.
  • Top Speed: The maximum velocity achieved.
  • Resistance to Speed: The ability to maintain high speed despite fatigue.

Factors Influencing Speed

  • Muscle Factors:
    • Leverage Layout: Quick movements often involve third-degree levers.
    • Muscle Capabilities: Includes muscle tone, elongation capacity, muscle viscosity, and fiber type (fast-twitch fibers are white and contract quickly; slow-twitch fibers are red and contract slowly).

Muscle Contractility and Mechanism

What is the unit of muscle contractility and how would you explain briefly the mechanism of muscle contraction?

The basic unit of muscle contraction is the sarcomere. It is composed of protein filaments: actin and myosin. Actin filaments are fixed in a longitudinal direction, while myosin filaments are free. During contraction, the length of the actin and myosin filaments does not change. Instead, the sarcomere shortens due to the sliding of the actin filaments over the myosin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. This sliding is driven by the interaction between actin and myosin, which is regulated by calcium ions. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction.
