I'm positive you have never heard of plyometric syndrome before 
{!firstname}; however you or someone youknow may be guilty
of it.

The coachdecides that continuous jumping may carry on for long
periods of time or thereis little rest between sets because the
coach is using these exercises to build"endurance".Unfortunately
too many plyometric exercises "fries" the nervous thus preventing
the muscles to contract effectively.

This is a case where less is better than more.

Here are afew key things a coach should know before implementing
a plyometric program forpower and speed.

Plyometricexercises such as box or hurdle jumps are very taxing on
the nervous system . Ifa player complains of his or her legs feeling
like lead after a plyometricworkout then you know you have
"plyometric syndrome" system.The nervous system has been
overworked.

If you areimplementing any hops or jumps into your program you must
do single legexercises first. This type of movement takes more balance,
coordination and focus to perform properly than two leggedhops or jumps.

If you are putting in two legged hops or jumps in first then single leg hops in
the samesession you have "plyometric syndrome".

So is therea solution? Absolutely! The key is to gradually build up from
being able tohandle your own body weight from landing to performing
continuous jumps withthe appropriate reps, sets and rest.

So nowhaving this information do you think you or some one you know
has "plyometric syndrome"
