If you have ever seen people at the gym or in the park jumping onto boxes, hopping from side to side, or slamming a heavy ball to the ground, chances are they were doing plyometric exercises. These high-intensity movements use the “stretch-shortening cycle” to build explosive strength, speed and power.
However, plyometrics is not just for elite athletes. Research shows they can help improve muscle strength and bone density and even reduce the risk of falls, making them beneficial for a wide range of people, from young athletes to older adults.
