Plyometric training is a type of exercise where a muscle is loaded and then must rapidly respond in the opposite direction. This is a fantastic way to build explosive power in an athlete, however it is also a tremendous way to hurt an athlete if not implemented correctly. A systematic approach must be taken to build the athlete up to this type of exercise.

The Vertimax is a training system used at PowerCore to create explosiveness, especially in the vertical jump. The system is designed to add external force to an athlete throughout a jump using a series of pulleys and resistance bands. For more information on Vertimax, visit www.vertimax.com.
