Reactivity
Reactiveness is the amount of displacement an athlete can achieve utilizing momentum with a ground contact of less than 250ms.
The Level of Reactivity greatly impacts an athletes change in direction ability.

Cues of Reactivity
Common Problems
Develop Pre-Activation
Develop Motor Control of Pre-activation. Appropriately challenge the system.
Long Term Athletic Development.
Learn the reactive stacked position (Plyometrics, Olympic Lifting)
Reactive Impulse Development [HIP]
via Full Spectrum Training. How quickly can you apply force and the direction of force application in the stacked reactive position.
Develop Elasticity
Develop the Foot Power Position
Injury Management and Load Management
Determinants of Reactiviteness
Force Absorption
- eccentric phase
Force Utilization
-amortization phase
Force Production
-concentric phase
Stretch Shortening Cycle
Spring like mechanism
1. Force Absorption -think compressing a spring
2. Force Utilization - as short ground contact as possible
3. Force Production- think releasing the spring
