About Jumping Into Plyometrics book...
First practiced by the dominant Eastern Bloc athletes of the 1970s, today
plyometrics has become a mainstream form of training used by serious athletes
around the world. The reason is that plyometrics offers athletes at all levels
a proven, straightforward way to enhance their athletic abilities and to
get an edge on the competition.
This second edition of Jumping Into Plyometrics presents 100 illustrated
plyometric exercises in seven categories:
• Jumps-in-place
• Standing jumps
• Multiple jumps
• Box drills
• Depth jumps
• Bounding
• Medicine ball exercises
Excellent for both recreational and elite athletes, the exercises can be
used to improve quickness, speed, and jumping ability while also helping
to develop better coordination, body control, and balance.
This new edition includes the latest research on plyometric training, a new
layout with a much-improved format for drills, and sidebars on star athletes
who have benefited from plyometrics. Plus, author Donald Chu--who has worked
as a consultant for the United States Tennis Association and for teams in
the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and the National Basketball
Association--gives you instructions and examples of how to choose from the
wide selection of exercises to build the ideal plyometric training program
for your chosen sport.
Jumping Into Plyometrics is the most complete book ever written on
this form of explosive power training.

About Jumping Into Plyometrics
Video...
The Jumping Into Plyometrics Video shows
your athletes how to perform 21 core exercises found in the book Jumping
Into Plyometrics. Using slow motion, freeze frames, and graphics, the
video demonstrates, in detail, how each exercise is executed.
Like the book, the Jumping Into Plyometrics Video features seven
categories of exercises that will improve your athletes’ speed, quickness,
and jumping ability while giving them greater coordination, body control,
and balance.
The video demonstrates exercises of low, moderate, and high intensity for
each category and explains techniques for adjusting the intensity levels
to make the exercises appropriate for any caliber of athlete.
Sport-specific applications and objectives are provided for each exercise
so you can use plyometrics for training regimens in a wide variety of sports.
Accompanying the video is a guide that describes practical tests for assessing
athletes’ skill levels and a reproducible chart for monitoring
progress.
