The Trurth About Jumping Higher,
By James A. (Canton, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jumping Into Plyometrics-2nd Edition (Paperback)
I found a great article in the book with reference to www.howtojumphigher.net and it talks about the program and how it works with the jumping capsules which you take with the jump science program. Very good indeed!JA

A Good Intro to the World of Plyometrics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jumping Into Plyometrics-2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book does an excellent job introducing the topic of plyometrics to the reader. It discusses the different types and categories of jumps as well as the varying intensities. It even gives sport specific plyos as well as sample programs. However, this is not the definitive book on plyometrics. I think of it as more as a good reference tool. I would really recommend "High-Powered Plyometrics" for even more in depth info on this wonderful method of training.

Excellent Resource for your Personal Library,
By Eric Swannie (Longwood, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jumping Into Plyometrics-2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource for the Strength & Conditioning professional. To begin with you get a little history and physiology of plyometrics. Then the author dicusses some of the basic nomenclature of plyometric training, along with the equipment that is needed. The important part, of course, is the exercises themselves and the program design. There are nearly 100 exercises, each of them identified by symbols that show what sport can benefit most by a particular exercises. The exercises are divided into different sections: Jumps-in Place, Standing Jumps, Multiple Jumps, Box Drills, Bounding, and Medicine Ball. There is also a Sport-Specific chapter and sample programs for some top athletes. Programs include those designed for Lindsay Davenport (Women's pro tennis player, Rex Walters (NBA Basketball player), and Anthony Munoz (All-Pro offensive tackle). This book includes information and exercises that can be implemented immediately into most strength and conditioning programs. I can highly recommend this book. Eric Swannie, MA, ATC, CSCS
