About the Jumping Into Plyometrics Book
First practiced by the dominant Eastern Bloc athletes of the 1970s, today plyometrics has become a mainstream form of training used by serious athletes around the world.
The reason is that plyometrics offers athletes at all levels a proven, straightforward way to enhance their athletic abilities and to get an edge on the competition.
This book includes 100 illustrated plyometric exercises in seven categories:
• Jumps-in-place
• Standing jumps
• Multiple jumps
• Box drills
• Depth jumps
• Bounding
• Medicine ball exercises
Excellent for both recreational and elite athletes, the exercises can be used to improve quickness, speed, and jumping ability while also helping to develop better coordination, body control, and balance.
Includes the latest research on plyometric training, a new layout with a much-improved format for drills, and sidebars on star athletes who have benefited from plyometrics.
Instructions and examples of how to choose from the wide selection of exercises to build the ideal plyometric training program for your chosen sport.
The most complete book ever written on this form of explosive power training.
