Discussion
Which one of the following best describes the plyometrics training method ?
Answer: D
Plyometric training involves mainly bounding and hopping.
Plyometrics uses the stretch-shortening cycle: a rapid eccentric (stretching) phase is followed immediately by a powerful concentric contraction. Typical drills are bounding, hopping, depth jumps and box jumps, which develop explosive power for jumping, sprinting and throwing.
Stretching develops flexibility, and continuous running and long-duration activities develop aerobic endurance. None of them uses the explosive stretch-shortening action that defines plyometrics.
