Question 1

What are plyometrics and how can they benefit my training?

Accepted Answer

Plyometrics are the base of all dynamic movements where a landing and takeoff occurs. For many, plyometrics are termed as any movement that has a fast and dynamic landing, with a ground contact time of under 0.25s - as fast as you can blink!
 
With that in mind, we can class many movements as plyometric - from hopping and bounding, to jump events and even sprinting.
 
Considering almost all dynamic sports involve the movements mentioned above - then training to improve the speed, power and strength of those movements will only support you in being a better athlete and player. 
 
Understand that plyometrics can help you develop physical capabilities that will enable you to jump higher and further, run faster, improve your movement efficiency to out-manoeuvre opponents and decrease the risk of potential injuries.
