The basic drill of plyometric training aimed at improving lower limb power and jump height is a drop jump. This exercise can be performed using different techniques, which substantially affects jump variables. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the values of the reactive strength index (RSI) for countermovement drop jumps (CDJs) and bounce drop jumps (BDJs). The study was carried o...

Background: Plyometric training is a hybrid between strength and endurance training. This allows musclesexert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal increasing power (speed-strength) whichensures better agility police cadets. Agility has been defined by capacity to retain or determine thelocation body shifting its direction rapidly sequence movements. Agility, speed explosivepo...

Plyometric training is a popular method utilized by strength and conditioning professionals to improve aspects of functional strength. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of extrinsic verbal cueing on the specificity of jumping movements. Thirteen participants (age: 23.4 ± 1.9 yr, body height: 170.3 ± 15.1 cm, body mass: 70.3 ± 23.8 kg,) performed four types of jumps: a depth...
