räjähtävyysharjoittelulla

Räjähtävyysharjoittelulla, or explosiveness training in English, is a type of physical training designed to improve an athlete's ability to generate maximum force in a short period of time. This is often referred to as power. The primary goal is to increase the speed at which muscles can contract, leading to a more explosive movement.

This training method typically involves exercises that mimic the demands of a specific sport or activity. Examples include plyometric exercises like box jumps, depth jumps, and medicine ball throws. Strength training exercises, such as squats and deadlifts performed with a focus on speed of execution, can also be incorporated. The emphasis is not just on lifting heavy weights, but on moving them as quickly as possible through the full range of motion.

Key principles of explosiveness training include adequate rest between sets to allow for full recovery and muscle potentiation. Proper technique is paramount to prevent injuries and maximize effectiveness. Progression typically involves increasing the intensity, volume, or complexity of exercises over time. This type of training is beneficial for athletes in sports that require quick bursts of speed and power, such as sprinting, jumping, throwing, and combat sports. It can also contribute to improved athletic performance and injury prevention by strengthening the muscles and connective tissues involved in explosive movements.
