Plyometrics is a type of exercise that focuses on explosive movements to improve strength, speed, and agility. These exercises typically involve a rapid stretch of the muscles followed by a quick contraction, such as jumping or bounding. Common examples include box jumps, squat jumps, and burpees. This training method is often used by athletes to enhance performance in sports that require quick bursts of energy. Plyometrics can also help improve overall fitness and coordination, making it beneficial for people of various fitness levels when performed correctly and safely.
