Over the past decade, Plyometric training has become an integral part in athletic training programs of a wide number of trainers and coaches in almost every sport. Strength and explosive power are the foundation for success in anaerobic sports like rugby, basketball and skiing. But speed and power also helps aerobic events. Even swimmers and runners build power with plyometrics, where they want speed without mass. Today all top coaches and trainers integrate plyometrics into their sport conditioning program.

Improving explosiveness focuses on the neuomuscular system. This has to do with how the brain commands the muscle system to contract quicker. Exercises must be structured scientifically for the muscles to learn to fire quicker and to allow the brain to rehearse specific movement patterns at full intensities.

Current advances in plyometric training focus on prescribing more sport-specific exercises. Building on the "jump" style training, the PowerPlyos System accommodates single leg strength, lateral movement, resisted vertical power and rotary power. The key to successful transfer to the sport environment is that the PowerPlyos builds only closed kinetic chain strength and dynamic power, and allows independent leg action.
