About
Plyometric training includes muscle contraction that moves rapidly from the eccentric to the concentric phase of movement while using proper biomechanics. It is an effective neuromuscular stimulus that can improve motor functions of children with CP. In plyometric training, muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.
