How does plyometrics work?
Plyometrics work through the use of plyometric movements to exercise muscles and to train nerve cells to stimulate and generate powerful plyometric contractions at very very short periods of time. These contractions are the heart and soul of plyometrics. It starts with a very quick “muscle lengthening movement”, followed by a very short rest period, then that quick and explosive muscle contraction that does all the magic. Plyometric exercises utilize these explosive muscle movements to develop the muscle power needed for the athlete’s training goal. Here’s a geekier explanation of what are plyometrics training programs really and how they work.
