Ballistic Stretch A more vigorous stretch by using a swinging or bouncing motion suited only for conditioned athletes, especially in martial arts.
Ballistic stretching: see Stretching, ballistic
Bicep muscle - The muscle in the front of your upper arm above the elbow. It has two heads (hence, "bi") that attach to different parts of your shoulder. Flexing makes you feel studly.
Ballistic Stretch: A stretch used by athletes using a bouncing or swinging motion.
Ballistic stretching: Increasing your stretch using bouncing.
BALLISTIC: Fast, dynamic movement.
BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR): The energy expended by the body at rest to maintain normal function. Relative to lean body mass.
BCAA: Branched chain amino acids.
Ballistic stretching - A kind of stretching that advocates bouncing to increase the amount of stretch. This is no longer recommended as it has been found to cause muscle tears and soreness.
Ballistic Stretching
A stretching technique that involves a bouncing or bobbing movement during the stretch. The final position is not held. This is not a recommended stretching technique.
Ballistics
During a ballistic action, the force far outweighs the resistance so movement is of a high velocity. The resistance is accelerated and projected. Examples include a medicine ball throw and a jump squat.
Ballistic running drills with resistance bands
Resistance bands can be used for ballistic running drills to develop explosive power, speed and agility by fixing bands to an anchor point such as a pole or another training partner.
Ballistic stretching
Ballistic stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion.
Dynamic stretching ...
Ballistic Stretching - Ballistic stretching comprises basic aerobic bouncing repeated in sets of twenty to fifty. It is important to consult a physician before getting into ballistic stretching.
Ballistic stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion.
Ballistic Training
William Kraemer, perhaps this country's most respected and prolific strength researcher, uses the term "ballistic training" to describe movements that are "accelerative, of high velocity, and with projection into free space.
This is NOT a ballistic exercise - there should be no bouncing or fast movements involved. Lower the dumbells slowly to the sides and change direction very deliberately by using muscle power, not bouncing.
Tricks:
1. Changing the arc ...
Just prior to ballistic movements, agonist muscles may exhibit a premovement silence (PMS) where there is little or no motor unit activity. Increased frequency of PMS may be learned; a neural adaptation to high velocity training.
ballistic movement due to momentum rather than muscular control. Ballistic stretching involves "throwing" a body part in order to stretch a joint beyond the range of motion attainable through controlled muscular contraction such as when ...

There are three basic methods of stretching - static stretching, PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) and ballistic stretch. Static stretching is done by achieving a taut stretch of a muscle, and holding it for 6-20 seconds.
Super-fast reps with ballistic movements and jerking can be harmful to muscles and connective tissues, while slow training accomplishes very little.
Avoid bouncy or ballistic methods of stretching.
Avoid exercises that may aggravate your lower back pain:
Standing military presses.
Double leg raises with straight legs.
Standing or sitting toe touches with straight legs.
Full sit-ups.
Kettlebell Exercises
The kettlebell offers a great way to build strength, power and endurance with a variety of static and ballistic exercises. Learn more about kettlebell exercises with pictures and descriptions.

Explosive exercises at their final level are often referred to as plyometric or ballistic movements.
move from heel strike to mid-stance, your opposing leg is propelled forward as you move to toe-off. The alternating swinging from hip and heel-to-toe action creates forward movement. Keep in mind that running and its variations are more ballistic and ...
