What is, What are Plyometrics Training and Examples
Plyometrics Training is a type of training which tries to mimic the real movement of a sport. Weight lifting is also used to train for certain sports like: basketball, soccer, volleyball, hockey etc. But it does not train certain motion skills. When jumping for example you need to learn to coordinate different muscles at once and not just have as much power from one muscle. Plyometrics exercises are designed to train certain movements as much as possible.
Examples of lower body plyometrics
- Jumping up and down on the same spot for 20 seconds
- Box jumps
- One leg jumping
Examples of upper body plyometrics
- Medicine ball throw
- Hand clap push ups
