What are plyometrics?
Plyometrics
Plyometrics, or “plyos” for short, are a type of exercise designed to produce fast and powerful movements. They are generally used by athletes to improve performance in sports, especially those that involve speed, quickness and power.[1] In addition, it is possible to find plyometrics used in the fitness field, but to a much lesser degree.[2] Thus, plyometric exercises use explosive, fast-acting movements to develop muscular power and to improve overall speed. In other words, it’s exercise that allows muscles to exert maximum force in the shortest amount of time possible.
