Plyometrics Fitness Adrenaline 2020

Plyometrics includes explosive exercises to activate the quick response and elastic properties of the major muscles. It was initially adopted by Soviet Olympians in the 1970s! Sports using plyometrics include basketball, tennis, badminton, squash and volleyball and of course, football! In the eccentric contraction, the muscles are involuntarily lengthened, while in the concentric contraction, the muscles are shortened after being tensed. Most of the stretching and shortening takes place in the tendons that attach to the muscles involved rather than in the muscles. Plyometrics have been shown to have benefits for reducing lower extremity injuries in team sports while combined with other neuromuscular training.
