Hi all,

Am currently in pre season winter training for the 4/8. Lots of long stuff, circuits and 1 weight session a week. Plyo wise, what time in the season (pre season) would be a good time to incorporate some plyo exercises? Now, in the early part, of later, as I increase a bit of faster running? My season starts around November. (Aussie).

cheers,

DOPR.

WOW…kinda odd to think of the different season that Aussies have. I think you can incorporate plyos all the way through…just use the differently. Early on you could do low level jumps mostly in double support perhaps for a time interval. And then gradually shift to higher intensity work. If yo really wanted to get technical with it I’ve found going through a progression that starts with an emphasis on low level contacts on a soft surface and moving to higher intensity jumps with an emphasis on concentric / starting power, then shifting emphasis to eccentric-concentric balance, and then eccentric / elastic emphasis.

Hey Mike (Or anyone else that can answer this),

Could you please name a few plyometric activities/jumps that fit into each of the categories that you mentioned above.

Thank you

Bumping this one back up, would also be interested in such a categorization.

Sounds like someone needs the endurance training book from https://www.verkhoshansky.com/
