Plyometrics, also known as jump training, uses the stretching shortening cycle to create power development within the neuromuscular system. Athletes are required to develop power bilaterally and unilaterally, depending on the sport requirements. Strength and conditioning programs should contain opportunities for athletes to develop this skill on both feet first, learning how to generate power effectively as well as how to land softly. Once they have mastered how to do the exercise proficiently on two feet, they can advance to a single leg jump with the focus on generating power, soft landings and maintaining their balance. #plyometrics #plyometricstraining #athletedevelopment #strengthandconditioning #personaltraining #groupfitness #highperformancecoaching #youthfitness #twisttricities #tricities #portcoquitlam #coquitlam #portmoody
