Plyometric Progression
Plyometric progression adds explosive jumps in stages—from low contacts to higher intensity—as tendons adapt. Rushing stages raises injury risk.
Plyometric progression builds explosive jumps and hops in stages—low amplitude contacts first, then higher boxes and shorter ground times as tendons and technique adapt. Skipping stages raises injury risk for knees and Achilles.
Pair plyometrics after a thorough warm-up, not on exhausted legs. Two to three sessions weekly with moderate contacts beat occasional marathon jump days.
Common questions
-
How many foot contacts per plyometric session?
Beginners often start around 40–60 quality contacts; advanced athletes may go higher with experience. Stop when height or stiffness drops—that is enough for the day.
