For starters, let’s separate plyometrics into two different categories:



Maximal Plyometrics: These refer solely to depth jumps. These low repetition exercises are designed to recruit maximal or near-maximal tension in the muscles. Just like maximal strength training, the body is not meant to be exposed to these stimuli every workout, nor are multiple repetitions even possible or advisable.

Sub-maximal Plyometrics: While still referring to rebound activities and short duration contacts on the floor, these activities are designed to teach the body the skills required at lower intensities. Lower box heights can be used or exercises such as skipping or bounding.

Box jumps are one of the most popular plyometric exercises.
