In episode #484 of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is joined by Eamonn Flanagan to dissect the intricacies of "true" plyometrics and their pivotal role in sports performance and rehabilitation.
Eamonn shares his journey into the world of plyometrics, sparked by undergraduate curiosity and further fueled by a colleague's PhD research. The discussion navigates the critical aspects of preparing athletes for plyometric training, underscoring the necessity of a solid foundation in strength.
Highlighting plyometric training's categorization based on intensity and athlete ability, Eamonn details the progression from lower to higher intensity exercises. The conversation also covers coaching strategies for effective plyometric training, including considerations for intent, surface, and intensity, and the importance of tailoring plyometric exercises to individual athlete needs and sport-specific demands.
Listeners will gain invaluable insights into implementing plyometric training safely and effectively, ensuring athletes not only enhance their performance but also minimize injury risks. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or sports science enthusiast, this episode offers a thorough exploration of plyometric training's principles and practical applications.
