Product Description
This is a manual about Plyometric Training and how it might be integrated into the training programme of a horizontal jumper. I have studied the philosophies and rationale of this method of developing strength and have included and implemented it for over 30 years and have been convinced of its inclusion and immense value for the development of eccentric, explosive, elastic and reactive strength for long and triple jumpers – in fact for athletes in ALL events.
Plyometrics is high-velocity resistance training characterized by a rapid eccentric contraction followed immediately by a rapid reversal of movement with a concentric contraction of the same muscle. It is high velocity eccentric lengthening to concentric shortening muscle loading, reflexive reactions, and functional movement patterns.
It is a specific form of resistance training and power training. Its main purpose is to heighten the excitability of the nervous system for improved reactive ability of the neuromuscular system.
