Listen "Enhancing Speed and Power with Biomechanics and Plyometrics"

Episode Synopsis

This conversation discusses the relationship between plyometric and biomechanics training and how they can affect speed. Biomechanics refers to the movement of the muscular skeletal system and how it generates force. Proper biomechanics help in generating force efficiently. Plyometrics is a training technique that focuses on developing speed and power. It involves exercises that utilize the stretch-shortening cycle to generate force. The conversation also covers the importance of form and body posture in maximizing speed and the different drills and exercises that can improve biomechanics and plyometric training. It concludes by emphasizing the integration of biomechanics and plyometrics to enhance speed development.
