What is Plyometrics?
In the current fitness scenario, Plyometric training has now 
been included in the sports physiotherapy program. 
Plyometric exercises are dynamic aerobic movements used 
to boost muscle strength and endurance, thus involving an 
individual to work out their muscles to the maximal potential 
in limited periods. Plyometric programs help to fat burn, run 
to improve mobility, jump higher, hit more strongly, and lower 
the risk of injury. These programs have become a critical 
aspect of sports physiotherapy training procedures. Here we 
are discussing Plyometrics and its perks.
Plyometrics programs also called jump training, are mostly tailored towards extremely competent athletes or people 
in peak physical state or those who want to advance their fitness. It includes frog hops, star jumps, broad jumps, 
squat tuck bounces, lateral jumps, etc. 
Plyometrics programs are impressive in enhancing dynamic movements as they leverage contractions of opposing 
muscles. These contractions develop when the muscles are compressed or expanded. Force is exhibited on both 
parts of these muscle contractions. The three major sections comprise:
● Eccentric Contractions
● Amortization Phase
● Concentric Contractions
Let’s check out the benefits of practising plyometrics:
Make Your Tendons Strong
Plyometrics sports physiotherapy exercises demand strong 
tendons because the actions are fast and strong. By doing 
plyometrics, a person develops strength and flexibility in the 
tendons, which might benefit to sidestep injuries.
Enhanced Performance
Plyometric sports physiotherapy Canberra can build up 
physical power. These activities develop vertical jump height 
and long jump length, lower sprint time, advance running, 
complement joint position awareness and guide to better 
postural management.
Weight Reduction
Plyometrics compels the body to exhibit a lot of strength 
and power to push the body weight off the ground. These 
actions require the muscles to eat up a lot of energy 
resulting in more calories burned in smaller periods. The 
high intensity of plyometric sports physiotherapy facilitates 
an individual to burn more calories after exercise as it can 
lead to excess post-exercise oxygen utilisation up to 48 
hours after the plyometric program.
