Plyometrics Training Exercises : Plyometric Exercises for Balance & Control

[bossofalltime]

These type of exercises along with low-level depth jumps (shock training) are very good for explosive speed and jumping power.....ABSORBING force efficiently is often overlooked by the gurus who advocate force production and strength development as just going into the gym and lifting till one blacks out but they don't really explain the importance of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) and other single leg work ....this guy is worth listening to

@bboydreamer96

no dude these will help jumping

[mutzilnosoundl]

Ok, I got a question for u guys. Almost every time when I jump (by jumping I mean one leg jump as high as i can, like dunking a basketball) I spin like 270 to 360 degrees. Is this because my "central" body muscles (or whatever it is, sry my eng is not perfect) like abs, ribs, back etc. are weak? Or do I jump wrong?

[realderekbrothers]

@mutzilnosoundl your spining to hard use less strenth

[crazyiraqii]

@mutzilnosoundl you're simply not jumping "straight up" and when you're kicking up with the other leg, make sure you're pushing straight and not towards a 45 angle.

also it could be abs, but that's doubtful. you can start some simple ab training, you'll feel better and more comfortable doing any exercise, also it will make you jump higher!

hope this helped you :)

Strengthening small stabilizer muscles give you more balance and control.

How do u gain more balance???

Any HELP!

[wickline01]

exercises like this are good. If you're having issues with basic one-leg stands, focus on a single fixed point at eye level. Focusing like this, especially on something with a horizontal line, acts like an artificial horizon for your unconscious mind. Finally, if you try to focus your balance in the central spot just behind the ball of your foot (the chinese call this the bubbling well, look it up on eastern medicine sites if you aren't sure where it is) helps as well.

practice

thats the answer to everything.

jump rope

[HeIIoHater]

1. stand on 1 leg, each leg for a minute

2. Work out your hips alot

3. jump rope

and stretch your legs alot

[denwall03]

get on a balance ball or board, it helps

[gorenagooc]

i think it was for stabalising muscles

[reelfate]

l think you need more practice to get balance

How Can I Develop Balance?

[WasGibtsLeute]

By doing these exercises you will gain balance. And do some stretching.

[laokon]

@WasGibtsLeute stretching? o.O

@laokon

Haha, wow, I think I was drunk heavily. Have no other explanation. :-)

I'm not sure I followed this: what muscle groups were undergoing the plyometric exercise? It looked like only the calf muscles were affected, but when you returned to the ground, you stopped. It didn't seem like you re-loaded (stretched eccentrically) the calf muscles and jumped again, to make it a plyometric exercise. I don't think this affected the quadriceps that much since you never flexed the knee all that much. That limited any stretching of the quads prior tojump. Any help? thanks.

this is good
