WHAT DOES PLYOMETRICS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Plyometrics

Plyometrics, also known as "jump training" or "plyos", are exercises based around having muscles exert maximum force in as short a time as possible, with the goal of increasing both speed and power. This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or "explosive" way, for example with specialized repeated jumping. Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes, especially martial artists and high jumpers, to improve performance, and are used in the fitness field to a much lesser degree.

Definition of plyometrics in the English dictionary

The definition of plyometrics in the dictionary is a system of exercise in which the muscles are repeatedly stretched and suddenly contracted.
