Most machines do not involve as much of the synergistic muscles (supporting muscles) as free weights do.
Sounded like a good one for Wikipedia, but sometimes it's too much even for the free encyclopedia, which offered: "Plyometrics is a type of exercise that utilizes a rapid eccentric movement, followed by a short amortization phase, and then followed by an explosive concentric movement, which enables the synergistic muscles to engage in the myotatic-stretch reflex during the stretch-shortening cycle.
