Covering Basic Plyometric Fundamentals Part III

Plyometric training is so effective at increasing force production capabilities because:

• Increased amount of “controlled stress” placed on the muscles, tissues, and joints via movements.
• We say “controlled stress” because if not managed properly, it may cause for increased risk of injury.
• Should be limited to those who have adequate levels of muscular strength and power, balance, coordination, and agility.
• Plyometric training can begin at lower intensities and progress at a rate by the individual’s skills.
