Plyometric exercises are high-impact, explosive movements designed to generate maximum force in a short amount of time—think jumps, bounds, and hops. I know plyometric work isn’t the most fun, but here’s why it’s scientifically proven to be worth adding to your program (if your knees are healthy): •Recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers, improving strength and explosive power. •Enhances neuromuscular efficiency, optimizing your body for quick, forceful movements. •May improve or maintain bone density with proper progression and impact control. •Boosts athletic performance, including vertical jump, sprint speed, and agility. •Increases calorie burn and metabolic rate, making it a time-efficient workout choice. It’s challenging, but the science says the benefits are real. 🧠💪
