Aquatic Plyometrics same effect as standard plyometrics but less pain
According to a study by the Ohio state university aquatic plyometrics training has the same effect as the standard land plyometrics training, but it will give you less muscle pain for sure.
“Aquatic plyometrics provided the same performance enhancement benefits as land plyometrics with significantly less muscle soreness.”
Power, Torque and Velocity were measured, which are of course the reason why people use Plyometrics training. So if you are going to do plyometrics training for basketball, volleyball etc, maybe the swimming pool might be a better option..
