A 4-phase approach to plyometric training.
While the broad differentiation between extensive & intensive methods can be useful, a more granular approach is often needed
Here's the 4-phase approach for plyometric training I use 🧵
We cover the rationale for this 4-phase approach, in detail, in our course on @SportsmithHQ

Here's the broad defining features of extensive and plyometric training
But there's many instances where we need a more remedial approach OR a different approach in our intensification of plyometrics
Here's where having 4 distinct phases to guide prescription can be useful

Phase 1: Foundation
Introduce correct technique in jumping, landing & skipping
Focus is on short contact times, springiness rather than maximal efforts.
Useful in early development or after detraining periods

Phase 2: Development
Conservative intensification of plyos & technical development of bounding/hopping techniques. Build foundational levels of reactive strength
Extensive methods used to develop lower limb conditioning
Athletes are well prepared for fuure high intensity work

Phase 3: Realisation
Realisation & Transfer are both “intensification” phases. They harness plyometrics in different ways
With realisation we seek to drive the strength qualities required for the sport. It is a general, high-intensity approach w/ focus on high output training

Phase 4: Transfer
Here we use increased dynamic correspondence of the exercises relative to the sport's demands
Exercises which will assist with the transfer of physical qualities to the sport actions
Ideal for athletes with existing high levels of reactive strength
