The principles of physics state that power is force acting over distance in a given time.  By reducing the time taken for the force to travel the distance, your power increases; hence, if you can increase your speed, your power increases too.  The reverse is also true, as increasing your power means you can move the same force over the same distance in a shorter time (thus speed has increased).  Plyometric exercises improve co-ordination through bettering your neuromuscular responses and strengthening your tendons and muscles, boosting your power and speed.

Some great plyometric exercises include bunny hops, single leg hops, squat jumps and clapping press-ups.  The aim of employing plyometrics into your exercise routine is not to fatigue your muscles, but rather to improve transfer of energy and body response, which cannot be done in just one session, but rather needs time to improve.  It is recommended that plyometric exercises be performed two to three times a week, with at least 24 hours rest between sessions.  There are plyometric exercises specific to different sports (e.g. football, rugby, tennis), so it is well worth incorporating these into your regime, as well as some of the generic exercises.

Plyometric exercises are just one example of how to increase speed and power, and with the close link between these vital components of performance, its no wonder that they form a big part of training in today’s modern world of sport!

Contact DE360 for your next video project, email: dave@daveerickson360.com I was first introduced to plyometrics in Junior High by my football coach and mentor Jay Beckman when I was training under the “Bigger, Faster, Stronger” program. Now that I’m in the triathlon off-season I’m going to be doing more cross training which will include more plyometric type workouts. If anything, its great for developing quick feet and explosiveness either on the run or on the bike. I find I work up a good sweat too.

A familiar way that athletes increase their vertical jump is through vertical plyometrics. This form of training involves the use of elevated boxes and quick agility repetitive exercises. This article will dive in to the art of this method.

The most effective training you can do to increase your vertical is the use of vertical plyometrics. Your reactive strength is highly increased with plyometrics. The reaction of a spring is the bodies’ reactive strength so to speak. You can react from one motion to another faster with the more reactive strength you posses.

To connect force and explosion power vertical plyometrics are the best form of exercise. To jump higher faster is the goal of this training by tuning and strengthen your leg muscle. They are relatively simple exercises and usually do not require any equipment, but they can give incredible results.

The increase to your vertical jump has been proven effective with plyometrics. You can not wait a moment if you want to dunk quicker you must use vertical plyometrics. Your workouts should always include some form of plyometrics. Plyometric leg exercises are supposed to be performed fast, so that means training slowly will get you nowhere.

In conclusion, there are great rewards to plyometrics to any athlete. As with any new exercise guidance is needed to prevent injury. Vertical plyometrics give athletes the ability to quickly react in the form a spring to bounce back into action on the next motion as a spring would bounce back.

Hurdles jumps used as height barrier for plyometrics training. Primary focus on fast ground contact, minimise ground contact time. Increase height of hurdles gradually without neglecting the emphasis of quick ground contacts. For more info pls visit: www.reactiv-sg.blogspot.com
