The initial two weeks of the 8-week plyometric training program basketball focus on establishing a solid base. This phase emphasizes proper landing mechanics, building lower body strength, and introducing fundamental plyometric exercises. Exercises include:
Plyometrics involve jumping and therefore contribute to an increased jump height, as well improved durability through the lower body. When incorporating plyometric exercises into training, it is important to appreciate proper technique and progression in order to maximize their effectiveness.
Plyometrics involves the lengthening (eccentric contraction) and shortening (concentric contraction) of the muscles. Example of eccentric contraction: When your pectoral muscle stretches during the downward movement of a push-up exercise, it has gone through an eccentric contraction.
Equipment: Plyometric box Starting Position: Facing the plyometric box with hands clasped behind head, get into a comfortable, upright stance with feet shoulder-width apart. Preparatory Movement: Begin with a counter movement. Upward Movement: Jump onto the top of the box using both legs.
Plyometrics are exercises in which the muscles exert maximum force in short periods of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength). This training focuses on the athlete’s ability to switch from an eccentric to a concentric contraction in a rapid or “explosive” manner, such as in jumping or bounding exercises.

Lower body power, balance, and reactive agility are important motor abilities for performance in collegiate basketball players. The purpose of this study was to examine if a 4-week supplemental plyometric or balance training affects these measures as compared to a control group.
