DL Jump/Skip Overview
In this video, you will learn/see:
Understanding the two main broad categories of Plyometrics and their components:
- Long Response Plyometrics – basic, less specific, longer ground contact, emphasis more on pure power production
- Short Response Plyometrics – advanced, more specific, shorter ground contact, emphasis more on rate of force development
Approach to the science aspects of the Long Response Plyometrics, and how this very specific form of a stretch reflex can set the base of general power; primarily in the vertical aspect.
Beginning of the database of the Vertical Plyometrics
- Jumps – arm/hips coordination and synchronization; along with pure power production, high speed eccentric loading, and subsequent deceleration into isometric contraction emphasis around the hips, knees, and ankles
- Skips – similar physiological adaptation of the Jumps, except now with a series of low-grade plyometric rhythmic hops in between main plyometric actions; ground contact of this main plyometric action is obviously much less that the Jump
DL Depth Jump Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
Scientific breakdown of the culmination of the Vertical Plyometric Series – the Depth Jump.
The ultimate drill in developing the general Power base while still achieving a good emphasis on rate of force development
The important “bridge” in getting the power adaptation necessary for success in the more specific Short Response Plyometrics
Approach to the physiological adaptation of the Vertical Plyometric Series – Jumps, Skips, and Depth Jumps; but now in various angles and introduction of power on the edges of the feet:
Linear
Lateral
Multidirectional
