www.tenniscruz.com Experts in the field of exercise science have varying opinions of plyometrics. The American College of Sports Medicine states that ‘that plyometric training is a safe, beneficial and fun activity for children and adolescents provided that the program is properly designed and supervised.’ www.tenniscruz.com

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!

Although plyometrics may not be appropriate as your only workout program, we highly recommend this for people have been training for three months or more with a traditional routine.  Most fighters already use some form of plyometrics within their routine and technique drills.

What is Plyometrics?

Plyometric training can bring your MMA game to the next level.  Plyometric exercise is defined as any exercise in which muscles are repeatedly and rapidly stretched (“loaded”) and then contracted. The end goal of plyometrics is to improve muscle power. Moves that involve jumping rapidly, either in a vertical plane or in a lateral plane qualify as lower extremity plyometrics. Various throwing or swinging exercises, usually employing a medicine ball are the basis of upper body pylometrics (think Judo throws).

How Does Plyometric Exercise Work For MMA Training?

Plyometrics takes advantage of the physiologic fact that pre-contraction stretching of muscle fibers increases the power generated by the subsequent muscle contraction. For example, athletes performing a standing vertical jump will crouch or dip just prior to exploding upward. The tension within the stretched muscle will momentarily increase, resulting in greater power (and a higher jump) with the subsequent contraction. Fighters using plyometric training will increase muscle power over time, by using this technique of repetitive, maximum-force muscle contraction.  The cardiovascular properties of this type of training may also help increase stamina while reducing muscle fatigue in the cage.

How Can Plyometrics Improve Ability In The Cage?

By increasing muscle power, explosiveness and speed, pylometrics can improve an athlete’s performance whether on the ground during or during your stand-up situations.  MMA fighters will notice increased punch and kick speed, better mobility on your feet, and quicker reactions during defensive situations.  For example, sprawl drills are a type of plyometric that advances reaction time when you are trying to bury your opponents shot.  Checking a kick takes speed and timing; all of which can be conditioned during proper plyometric training.  Check out great plyometric routines on YouTube to develop some exercises to use during your next training session.
