This second edition of Jumping Into Plyometrics presents 100 illustrated plyometric exercises in seven categories:
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 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. User Submitted Jumping into Plyometrics: 100 Exercises For Power & Strength ReviewsDate: 2008-05-09 Excellent As an outdoor fitness instructor, I have been able to use several of the exercises. Great suggestion from my Chiropractor! Date: 2008-04-30 Disappointed This book is not written that well. It could be organized better. It reminds me of a term paper thrown together from bits and pieces of other reports. I find the exercise drawings hard to follow. Photo sequences would have been better. Make sure you examine this one at the bookstore before you order it. Date: 2007-06-08 Power training for all levels This book explains, with easy to understand illustrations, various exercises for power, speed and agility (to enhance athletic performance). All exercises have little pictures of all sports which especially benefit from these exercises, like baseball, basketball or power lifting...even more `exotic' sports such as fencing, skiing or horseback riding. The exercises suggested in this book can be used for specific athletic training or to add some fun and variety to your own workouts :-) Date: 2007-05-28 so do you need to jump? this book is a top recommended reading from all leading authors in strength and conditioning. However, you should also buy the companion dvd in order to help facilitate the exercises in the book. Date: 2001-08-08 A Good Intro to the World of Plyometrics This book does an excellent job introducing the topic of plyometrics to the reader. It discusses the different types and categories of jumps as well as the varying intensities. It even gives sport specific plyos as well as sample programs. However, this is not the definitive book on plyometrics. I think of it as more as a good reference tool. I would really recommend "High-Powered Plyometrics" for even more in depth info on this wonderful method of training.
