Plyometric Training [4 ]

Another 3 plyometric exercises which could be used as a sequence in a training unit.

The 1st drill is the simple DROP DOWN REBOUND. The jumper 'steps' down - not out from a platform 60-90cms high, and on landing on a full foot DRIVES immediately upwards. There should be no forward lean on landing. The energy stored in the muscles as they lengthen MUST be used immediately

The 2nd drill is a simple progression whereby the jumper on stepping down and DRIVING VERTICALLY from the floor lands on the top of a second platform. You could extend the drill by using several platforms of varying heights. You might want to go from a lower platform to a series of higher platforms.

The 3rd drill in the series is a DROP DOWN rebound to attempt to touch an object which is positioned high. In this example the jumper is rebounding quickly in an attempt to touch the rim of a basketball net.
