Plyometric Contact Time
Plyometric contact time measures ground contact during jumps—shorter contact reflects reactive power when drills are fresh and well-timed.
Plyometric contact time is how long your foot or hands stay on the ground during jumps and bounds—shorter contact usually means more reactive power. Drills like pogo hops and depth jumps train stiffness and elastic recoil when volume is controlled.
High contact times signal fatigue or poor timing.
Common questions
-
How many plyometric reps per session?
Quality beats quantity—forty to eighty ground contacts for many athletes, spread across low-intensity hops and a few harder bounds. Stop when contact time lengthens.
