Application of Ballistic Training in Competitive Sports

By using the methods of literature review and expert interview,this paper analyzed the background,features,function,mechanism,and some related factors in ballistic training in order to make comprehensive understanding on this type of training.The result showed that ballistic training had some features like releasing the weight with full speed at the end of movement and in line with the special characteristics.The adaptation changes of neuromuscular had significant influence on the mechanism of this training.For example,neural activation,firing of motor unit,the priority recruitment of high threshold motor unit,and the optimizing of intermuscular coordination,etc.The intensity of ballistic training has been unclear.So we can choose the optimal training intensity according to the features of sport,the strength level and training experience of athletes.To develop the overall strength fitness,we can use other strength or explosive training methods combined with ballistic training.Using the modern ballistic training equipment and feedback system for power and velocity can ensure the safety and efficiency of the training.
