Authors: Kite, R. and Benstead-Banthorpe, J.

Journal: Professional Strength and Conditioning Journal

Volume: 73

Issue: 1

Pages: 20-32

Abstract:

The popularity of plyometric exercises highlights the critical role that they play in developing athletes within strength and conditioning practices. However, although a staple exercise of the strength and conditioning practitioner’s toolbox, plyometrics are all too often overlooked, resulting in practitioners not reaping the most benefits from their application. This article attempts to provide more clarity and guidance towards the use of plyometrics with the aim of improving practitioner application and understanding. This includes building a greater understanding of plyometric adaptations, as well as an awareness of movement strategy, exercise prescription and exercise progressions.
