Plyometrics

(thing) by Ness Sun Mar 09 2003 at 7:39:03

An exercise method which includes a rapid succession of extending and contracting muscles in order to increase muscle strength.

Just as many other exercises, there are potential damaging factors. One example of a plyometric exercise would be the performance of squats but adding a jump when reaching the full, upright position. Needless to say, if you can't do normal squats in any sense of regularity, jump squats could mess you up but good.
