Plyometric-Summary
In the beginning of the article we see an analysis of soccer players, their strength and what is demanded by them during a game.
In the text it is explained what plyometric is and how it works, what is the true nature of it and aim of plyometric training.
They key words among the article are: depth jump, running velocity, muscle volume stretch-shortening cycle, jumping, and force–velocity test.
For this experiment, 23 random players were used to do different exercises. These people were in the age between 19 and 23 years old. They all trained in two different groups and tested later on to see the outcome.
The hypothesis was that 8 weeks of biweekly plyometric training would enhance leg PP, jump height, and sprint running velocity relative to players who maintained their normal in-season regimen.
After testing the soccer players, the result was what they expected in the hypothesis.
Learned
I learned that plyometric exercises are beneficial to athletes because these make them improve their performance during the season (Faster-Stronger).
Is not necessary to have a long training time to improve performance.
Questions
How would you change plyometric to increase power in a soccer player?
If it is so beneficial, why not everybody uses this type of training?
Does the abuse of plyometric exercise would affect an athlete´s performance? (with abuse of plyometric exercise I mean training with this for a long time).
Plyometrics -- also known as jump training -- is a training technique designed to increase muscular power and explosiveness. Originally developed for Olympic athletes, plyometric training has become a popular workout routine for people of all ages, including children and adolescents.
Plyometric training conditions the body with dynamic resistance exercises that rapidly stretch a muscle (eccentric phase) and then rapidly shorten it (concentric phase). Hopping and jumping exercises, for example, subject the quadriceps to a
