Plyometrics help bridge the gap between our strength work and more dynamic outputs. While lifting builds the foundation, plyos facilitate the expression, enhancing the rate at which force is applied and refining your ability to produce and tolerate high speed/high impact

movements.

If you’re trying to sprint faster, jump higher, or decelerate more efficiently, you need some form of plyometric training.

Done correctly, plyometrics improve muscle stiffness, which is crucial for storing and releasing energy quickly during sprinting.

The faster the limb contacts the ground, the more important it becomes to limit unwanted joint deformation and maximize tendon recoil.

Plyometrics also target rate of force development (RFD) and neuromuscular reactivity, two key traits in elite sprint & sport performance.

The best plyometric programs consider things like:
•Contact time and intensity
•Surface and direction of force
•Joint angles and segmental coordination
•Progressions and pairings with sprint work

In my new Speed eBook, I’m devoting an entire section to combining

Plyometrics + Sprint Training. When to pair them, how to progress them, and how to match the type of plyo to the sprint emphasis (e.g. acceleration vs max velocity).
