Great post – many thanks!
Have you written about plyometrics?
Hi Glenn,
I’ve not written a post about plyometrics specifically, but the same theory would apply:
S.A.I.D principle – The body adapts very specifically to whatever you do, so chances are you will mostly just get better at the plyometric drills. If you were playing basket ball for example, I feel it would be more useful to spend more time practising slam dunks say, than repeatedly dropping off a box (more fun too!)
Injury Risk – Plyometrics carry extremely high injury risk. The original Russian texts that actually advocate them, only do so for extremely high level, well conditioned athletes. There are many S&C coaches out there dishing them out to everyone that walks through their doors, regardless of goals and experience, mainly because the exercises seem interesting/new/unusual – This is just going to end in disaster!
