Also does it stop growth?

The idea of plyometrics is to develop the greatest amount of force in the shortest amount of time. Plyometrics are generally used in athletes, but can be tried by anyone looking to gain, strength, speed and power. These plyometric exercises sometimes requires a bench, stairs, jumping rope; everything that you could find in your house.
This is a complete list of plyometric exercises. They all have animated photos, so it’s easy to understand how to do them. it’s free:

  2. Plyometric exercises are specialized, high intensity training techniques used to develop athletic power (strength and speed). Plyometric training involves high-intensity, explosive muscular contractions that invoke the stretch reflex (stretching the muscle before it contracts so that it contracts with greater force). The most common plyometric exercises include hops, jumps and bounding movements. I’ve never heard of it stunting growth.
