Also, reflexes in muscles can voluntarily be overridden when one knows which movement is going to follow next. That is the case here. Even the definition of plyometrics on wikipedia is not able to confirm how the myotatic reflex and the stretch-shortening cycle really works. Again, nice exercise, good demonstration.

Certainly will build strength and balance. I am still not convinced this fits the definition of a plyometric exercise (like most exercises people are calling them today). Sure you have the eccentric load followed by the concentric contraction, but setting off the myotatic reflex is a different story. Instead, what is happening is that the elastic part of the muscle stores energy when stretched allowing for the change of momentum to take place. Thats not a reflex. Very nice exercise. …
