Box Jumps
Improves explosive leg power and neuromuscular coordination, specifically targeting fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Recovery and Adaptation
Critical to allowing the body to repair and strengthen after plyometric workouts, leading to performance gains.
Skater Hops
Increases lateral power and stability, building agility and balance for sport-specific movements.
Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC)
A key principle of plyometrics involving a pre-stretch or countermovement that increases the power of the subsequent movement.
Plyometric Split Squat Jumps
Improves explosive strength and dynamic balance while targeting the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.
Depth Jumps
Develops reactive strength by utilizing the stretch-shortening cycle to improve explosive power.
Medicine Ball Throws
Builds upper body explosive power and helps improve coordination between the upper and lower body.
Plyometric Push-Ups
Develops upper body explosiveness and power, beneficial for sports requiring pushing actions.
Bounding
Improves running speed and leg strength by lengthening the stride and increasing the force of push-off.
Programming Considerations
Involves planning the volume, intensity, frequency, and progression of plyometric training to safely improve performance.
