Plyometrics
 Plyometrics are Exercises that enhance muscular power and speed through quick repetitive eccentric and concentric muscle contraction.
The first muscle contraction is the eccentric phase where the muscles contracts first (rapidly lengthening) followed by a short resting phase (amortization phase) and then explodes very quickly, muscle shortening called concentric phase. Therefore plyometrics are exercises in which a muscle is loaded (eccentric) and then contracted (concentric) as fast as possible in the shortest amount of time to improve performance in sports to jump higher, run faster, hit harder, throw faster or what ever the specific goal might be.
