    and bar speed to occur at the top of the lift as a result of better positioning. Descending Phase ● Cue the athlete to maintain an upright position of the upper body during the descent by continuing to contract the posterior musculature in an isometric manner in order to avoid any potential anterior pelvic tilt. The athlete should continue to descend on their heels to allow for stabilization and optimal muscular recruitment. ● Descend into a ¼ squat position with a knee angle at approximately

    muscles that maintain low-intensity contractions for long periods without fatigue. A single skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fibre. There are three types of muscle fibres found in the human skeletal muscle system including slow-oxidative fibres‚ fast-oxidative fibres and fast-glycolytic fibres. These three fibres are each defined by their biochemical capacities1. The slow-oxidative muscle fibres are classified by their slow speed of contraction and oxidative phosphorylation path to

    +Amendments for D2: Skeletal muscles allows for many different types of muscle contractions such as eccentric‚ concentric‚ isometric and isokinetic. These muscles are voluntary and the contractions produced have a huge impact on Wilkinson’s game. For example when he is striking a ball his quadricep contracts concentrically to produce force onto the ball. The more powerful the muscle the bigger the contraction‚ therefore if Johnny improves the strength of his quadriceps his kicking distance could
