What is Plyometrics and How Does it Work?

Facts About Plyometrics

Even if the word plyometrics is being used often by a lot of dedicated athletes, only a few really know how this performance-enhancing technique works. It started out as a training technique in the enigmatic Eastern part of the world.

At first, it was coined as jump training. But the world only began to take notice of plyometrics when several countries from the East started to dominate various fields in sports. Plyometrics was believed to be behind most of their victories.

Way back in the 1920s, only athletes engaged in track and field applied plyometrics into their training regimen. They were the first to make use of a systematic approach of using plyometric training techniques. But in the 1970s, other sports started to integrate plyometrics into their training program as well, particularly those that necessitated explosive power during competitions.
