Finally, physiologically after four weeks there may be an increased range of movement around the knee and hip joints involved in the vertical jump. This may be because the joint is starting to secrete more synovial fluid, and therefore becomes more flexible for the performer and may start to help to develop more power each time the vertical jump is performed. You then need to repeat this for the end of the training programme too (What has happened by the end of the 8 week period?) Remember! As a minimum, try to have at least TWO Psychological and TWO Physiological adaptations for the end of the four week period, followed by TWO Psychological and TWO Physiological adaptations for the end of the eight ten week period for a top-band (A grade) answer. – –A*
