Plyometric Exercises: 35 Explosive Movements

Plyometrics — also known as jump training — develop explosive power by training the stretch-shortening cycle of your muscles. These exercises improve vertical jump, sprint speed, and athletic performance. Our library includes box jumps, depth jumps, bounds, and throwing variations that train your fast-twitch muscle fibers. Plyometrics bridge the gap between strength and speed, making you not just strong but powerful. They're essential for athletes in basketball, football, volleyball, and other sports requiring explosiveness. Beginners should start with low-impact variations like squat jumps before progressing to depth jumps and single-leg bounds. Proper landing mechanics are crucial to prevent injury. MySetPlan can incorporate plyometrics into your program based on your athletic goals and current fitness level.
