ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the motor unit activation of the quadriceps (Q), hamstring (H), and gastrocnemius (G) muscle groups during a variety of plyometric exercises to further understand the nature of these exercises. Twenty-four athletes volunteered to perform randomly ordered plyometric exercises, thought to cover a continuum of intensity levels, including two-foot ankle hops; 15-cm cone hops; tuck, pike, and box jumps; one- and two-leg vertical jump and reach; squat jumps with approximately 30% of their 1RM squat load; and 30- and 61-cm depth jumps. Integrated electromyographic data were analyzed for each exercise using a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA. Results revealed signicant main effects for the Q when all subjects are analyzed, as well as for separate analysis of men, women, subjects with vertical jumps greater than 50 cm, and those with vertical jumps less than or equal to 50 cm (p # 0.05). Signicant main effects were also found for the G muscle group in the analysis of all subjects, as well as for men and subjects with vertical jumps greater than 50cm (p # 0.05). No signicant main effects were found for the H muscle group. Pairwise comparisons revealed a variety of differences among plyometric exercises. In some cases, plyometrics previously reported to be of high intensity, such as the depth jump, yielded relatively little motor unit recruitment compared with exercises typically thought to be of low intensity. Results can assist the practitioner in creating plyometric programs based on the nature of the motor unit recruitment.
INTRODUCTION
lyometric training has burgeoned in the last 3 decades as an effective mode of training athletes. Predictably, evidence suggests that plyometric training results in superior outcomes when combined with another method of training such as weight training

or when compared with other modes of training alone (1,6 9,1618,20,23,30,32). Furthermore, plyometric training has been shown to result in biomaterial adaptation that may be important for preventing injuries (2,4,12,13,31,33). Whereas the effectiveness of this mode of training is unequivocal, information is limited regarding how to best design plyometric programs. Little is known about program design, especially with respect to quantifying the nature of the plyometric exercise and how to best incorporate it into an optimal training program. Similar to other forms of training, plyometric program design requires an understanding of a variety of program design variables, such as exercise mode, frequency, volume, program length, recovery, progression, and intensity (19). Unlike resistance training, plyometric exercise intensity is not well understood, although it may be the most important program design variable. Typically, factors such as the number of points of contact during jump landings, speed of the exercise, height of the jump, and athletes body mass have been suggested as possible factors determining intensity (19). Additionally, anecdotal recommendations exist for categories of low- to high-intensity plyometric exercises (19). Plyometric intensity has also been dened as the amount of stress placed on involved muscles and connective tissue and joints, and it is dictated by the type of exercise that is performed (19). Given this denition, it is logical that intensity could be scientically evaluated by examining a variety of kinetic variables and by assessing the activation of muscle through electromyography (EMG). Previously, kinetic and kinematic variables associated with a limited number of plyometrics have been examined. For example, studies have compared kinetic and kinematic variables of drop jumps and pendulum jumps (10), ground reaction forces (GRF) of unloaded and loaded drop jumping (28), the effect of feedback training on GRF, drop jumps of varying heights, and one-legged and two-legged countermovement jumps (22,24,29). Research quantifying the intensity of a large number of plyometric exercises is limited to studies by Jensen and Ebben (14,15), who examined 10 different exercises and demonstrated that the impulse, eccentric rate of force development (RFD), GRF, and knee joint reaction force (JRF) of plyometric exercises vary depending on the type of exercise performed and that some

Twenty-four adult subjects (13 women and 11 men; age, 22.65 6 3.42 years; weight, 76.15 6 18.61 kg) volunteered for the study. All subjects participated in resistance training and either recreational or intercollegiate sports and were familiar with the plyometric exercises evaluated in the study. Mean vertical jumping ability and other subject characteristics are described in Table 1. Subjects provided informed consent before participation in the study. Approval for use of human subjects was obtained from the Universitys internal review board before beginning the study.
Testing Procedures
of the previous anecdotal recommendations regarding intensity are not accurate. These studies provide a foundation for understanding plyometric intensity, though many questions remain. Previous research examining motor unit activation during plyometric exercises is limited to studies comparing variations of a single exercise (21,24) or gender differences (5,11,34). No previous study has attempted to quantify differences in motor unit activity of more than two exercises. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate integrated electromyography (IEMG) activity of the gastrocnemius (G), hamstrings (H), and quadriceps (Q) muscle groups during a variety of plyometric exercises to quantify differences among the exercises.
METHODS
Experimental Approach to the Problem
This study used a randomized repeated-measures design to test the hypothesis that there are differences in the motor unit recruitment of the G, H, and Q muscles groups dependent on the
Warm-up before the plyometric exercises consisted of 5 minutes of low-intensity work on a cycle ergometer, which was followed by static stretching, including one exercise for each major muscle group with stretches held for 12 seconds, and activity-specic dynamic stretching. Subjects then performed two repetitions each of the 10 test plyometric exercises at 75% intensity. Subjects were then allowed at least 5 minutes rest before beginning the test. Exercise selection included a variety of common plyometric exercises that are performed primarily in the vertical plane and are thought to represent a continuum of intensities based on previous research (15) and anecdotal recommendations (19). The randomly ordered exercises included depth jumps from 30.48 cm and 61 cm, pike jump, tuck jump, single-leg vertical jump and reach, double-leg vertical jump and reach, squat jump holding dumbbells equal to 30% of 1RM squat, two-foot ankle hop, 15.24-cm cone hop, and a 61-cm box jump. A 1-minute rest interval was maintained between each exercise to allow recovery of the phosphagen system and to ensure maximal effort for each exercise. Subjects performed only one repetition of each exercise to minimize fatigue. Finally, randomization of the plyometric exercises reduced the likelihood of an order effect.

Electromography
Electromyography was used to quantify muscle activity using a four-channel shielded cable Biopac MP 100 EMG unit (Biopac Systems, Goleta, CA). The input impedance was 120 kV, signal to noise ratio of 0.2mV and the common mode rejection ratio was 100 dB. Electromyographic data were recorded at 1,000 Hz using rectangular shaped (10 3 30 mm) Ag/Ag Cl bipolar surface electrodes (Noraxon USA, Inc., Scottsdale, AZ) with an interelectrode distance of 10 mm. Electrodes were placed on the longitudinal axis of the muscles with the H electrode placed over the biceps femoris halfway between the gluteal fold and the popliteal fossa. The Q electrode was placed over the rectus femoris halfway between the greater trochanter and medial epicondyle of the femur. The G electrode was placed on the belly of the G, on the longitudinal axis. A common reference electrode was placed 10 mm anterior and between the medial condyle and medial malleolus of the tibia. Skin preparation included shaving hair,
abrasion, and cleaning the surface with alcohol. Elastic tape was applied to ensure electrode and cable placement and to provide strain relief. Surface electrodes were connected to an amplier and streamed continuously through an analog to digital converter to an IBM-compatible notebook computer. Electromyographic data were managed with computer software (AcqKnowledge 3.2; Biopac Systems, Inc.). Saved EMG data were full wave-rectied and integrated (IEMG in mVs21) for the eccentric and concentric phases of the plyometric exercise to determine the number of active motor units and their ring rates. All data were ltered with a 10-Hz high-pass and a 500-Hz low-pass lter.

RESULTS
Table 2 depicts the signicant main effect for the Q when all subjects were analyzed, as well as for separate analysis of men, women, subjects with vertical jumps greater than 50 cm, and those whose vertical jump was less than or equal to 50 cm (p # 0.05). Signicant main effects were also found for the G muscle group when all subjects were analyzed, as well as for men and those with vertical jumps greater than 50 cm (p # 0.05). No signicant main effects were found for the H muscle group. Bonferonni adjusted pairwise comparison of specic plyometric exercise are presented for the Q muscle groups in Tables 37 and for the G muscle group in Tables 810. Data are presented in each Table from high to low mean values.
DISCUSSION
This is the rst study to comprehensively evaluate motor unit recruitment associated with plyometric exercises. Whereas numerous studies demonstrate the effectiveness of plyometrics, little is known about how these exercises differ. Studies attempting to quantify the differences among plyometric exercises are typically limited to evaluating kinetic or kinematic variables of one or two variations (10,21,22,28). Only two studies (14,15) have evaluated several plyometric exercises in an attempt to evaluate their qualitative differences. These studies have focused on kinetic data such as ground and knee joint reaction forces and impulse. These kinetic variables are an important for further understanding of plyometric intensity. However, studies examining EMG activity, in particular, have previously only assessed variations of a single exercise (3,5,11,24,29,34). Results of the present study suggest that Q IEMG varies among a number of plyometric exercises. When all subjects were analyzed, exercises such as cone hops, box jumps, and tuck jumps resulted in more Q IEMG than exercises such as the single-leg jump, and depth jumps from 30- and 61-cm boxes. Similarly, the vertical jump stimulates more Q IEMG than either of the depth jumps, and ankle hops offer more Q IEMG than depth jumps from 61-cm boxes. In fact, depth jumps resulted in the lowest mean Q IEMG of all the exercises assessed. From the standpoint of motor unit recruitment, these nding contrast with previous anecdotal recommendations that depth jumps are the highest intensity form of

on further quantifying these variables of intensity. Ultimately, because plyometric intensity varies according to the variables assessed, practitioners could use the result of analysis that is most applicable to the needs of those they serve.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Quantifying plyometric exercise intensity is important to optimally progress this form of exercise for developing athletic ability, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Understanding plyometric intensity requires consideration of a variety of kinetic variables and motor unit recruitment. Results of this study provide information about the degree of motor unit recruitment associated with various plyometric exercises. If motor unit recruitment is the primary goal of the plyometric program, the ndings of this study presented in Tables 310 should be considered. Selection of the exercises offering the greatest motor unit recruitment should be prioritized in the program design. Future research may further evaluate plyometric intensity by examining a variety of kinetic variables.
