It is difficult to give the profound meaning and definition of plyometric training. Generally plyometric training consists of those exercises which produce, "an overload of isometric type muscles action which invokes the stretch reflex in muscles." The term plyometric is derived from the Greek language,"Pleythyein" which means, 'to increase'. Here 'Plyo' stands for more and 'Metric' stands for measure. Here the enhancement of explosive strength takes place as a result of rapid eccentric contractions through powerful muscular contraction. 'Chu' Defined plyometric as,'the exercises that combine the speed and strength ability to produce an explosive power'.

Abstract


It is difficult to give the profound meaning and definition of plyometric training. Generally plyometric training consists of those exercises which produce, "an overload of isometric type muscles action which invokes the stretch reflex in muscles." The term plyometric is derived from the Greek language,"Pleythyein" which means, 'to increase'. Here 'Plyo' stands for more and 'Metric' stands for measure. Here the enhancement of explosive strength takes place as a result of rapid eccentric contractions through powerful muscular contraction. 'Chu' Defined plyometric as,'the exercises that combine the speed and strength ability to produce an explosive power'.
