Plyometrics is a thought-provoking work that presents the newest information on plyometrics,
plyometric training techniques, and numerous applications.
Effect of in-season short-term
plyometric training program on leg power, jump-and sprint performance of soccer players.
That extra effort during the summer came in the form of several rigorous
plyometric training stations set up by Pontello, which usually came at the end of practice to test the Patriots both mentally and physically.
Training to increase lower body strength and speed will always fall into one of three categories: Heavy Resistance, Light-Load/High-Speed, or
Plyometric Training.
These methods include; 1) heavy strength / hypertrophic training, 2)
plyometric training and 3) explosive weight / power training using various loads associated with different parts of the power-velocity curve.
Grosset and colleagues (16) showed that longer EMDs were associated with a decreased musculo-tendinous stiffness after 10 wks of endurance or
plyometric training.
Thereby, weight training increases muscular strength and
plyometric training exploits the SSC; therefore, the strength acquired by the weight training protocols will be used in this cycle (SSC) to produce a more forceful concentric muscle action and increase anaerobic power.
2008) studied the short-term effects of strength and
plyometric training on sprint and jump performance in professional soccer players.
Studies report that plyometric (jump) training has been shown to have a positive effect on power-related variables in dancers (3,33); however, there are warnings that
plyometric training must be approached gradually and systematically to avoid injury.
