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 jumpingExamples of upper body plyometrics - Medicine ball throw- Hand clap push ups | | 07/12 | Basketball Plyometrics: Jumping Exercises, training program
A standard jumping exercise for basketball plymotrics is the "touch the rim" jump exercise.It's easy, simply stand close to the basket and jump and try to touch the rim. The first few weeks try focussing on keeping your balance. Don't try to jump as high as possible. Balance and jumping and landing from the same spot is most important. After you get your balance sorted out start jumping as high as possible.
