plyometrics

What is Plyometrics The term Pliometry comes from the Greek and means "increase the size / distance". In the study of human movement, in particular, this term describes a complex type of exercise. Plyometrics and plyometric executions were introduced by the US Fred Wilt, who in 1975 brought them to the attention of the world sports community, describing how " a movement characterized by the succession of a concentric contraction to an eccentric can be a very useful tool in development of some motor-conditional skills (basic and composite) "
