It is the position of the National Strength and Conditioning Association that:
1.Resistance exercises characterized by maximal or near maximal rates of force development or by high accelerations, usually referred to as "explosive exercises," are effective for enhancing physical performance. The statement is somewhat problematic but is still acceptable in a certain context
2.Explosive exercises may be necessary for optimal physical conditioning in some sports, particularly those involving high accelerations. THey cover their butts because they use the word "may" instead of being sure about their own position. Doesn't sound convincing.
3.In keeping with the principle of Specificity of Training, explosive exercises can be used to simulate movement patterns and velocity and acceleration patterns of many sports movements. This statement is problematic. In the first part they say it must keep with the Specificity of Training...Specific is specific there are no degrees. Either something is exact or it is different or merely alike, which will not lead to a carry over from explosive training.
4.Explosive exercises should be taught by experienced and knowledgeable instructors. This also is not problematic in itself accept in the context of what is being written about.
5.When properly taught and supervised, explosive exercises do not involve excessive risk of injury. what would cause an injury? Consider the example. Say a persons max dead lift is 300 pounds for one rep. The only way he could lift more would be to add outside momentum to the movement I.E. jerking, or invoking momentum....so what situation is more dangerous or in their words causes an an excessive risk? In the first instance, said individual pulls on 320 pounds in a slow gradual manner gradually increasing the resistance over a longer amount of time. However he cannot lift the weight since he is over his max and with good form his body will not allow him to lift it because by pure musclular effort he cannot. Now in the second situation the person relaxes the body and then in one effort pulls against the weight as much as possible. Which situation do you think involves excessive risk?
6.Reduction of athletic injury risks associated with participation in sports involving high rates of force development or high accelerations, probably require some training with exercises involving high rates of force development or high accelerations. I will refer to the above example. Explain how increasing the risk of injury will help decrease the risk of injury in said sport? Its like a police officer saying he needs to be shot at in training to reduce the chance he will be shot at in the field. Once doesn't have that affect on the other besides doubling the risk to the said person
