Plyometric Training for Children, Young People & Adults
What is Plyometric Training?
Plyometric training is a type of exercise that uses quick, powerful movements to improve speed, strength, agility and athletic performance. Often referred to as jump training, plyometrics involve movements such as jumping, hopping, skipping, bounding and explosive changes of direction.
The aim is to train your muscles to produce maximum force in a short amount of time, helping you move faster, jump higher, react more quickly and perform more efficiently in sport and everyday life.
Our sessions are carefully adapted to each individual's age, ability, goals and fitness level, with a strong emphasis on safe technique, movement quality and gradual progression.
