Plyometric training can be the difference between being an average athlete or a great athlete. If you don’t implement plyometric exercise into your athlete’s routine, he or she never will become explosive.

That exercise, teaches to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or explosive situation. This ability to jump high is a valuable quality in an athlete. The plyometric will work on hips explosiveness and leg drive, plus can tremendously improve flexibility in the hamstring and lower back.

I include the box jumping in all my athlete’s program design, adults, teenagers or even kids to improve their power. I have been having great results with that. However, before you start such training, be certain that you have the right equipment, warm up well, have a good forming it, use training appropriately, and follow a progressive program for conditioning level.
