Module Aims: To have a profound insight of the theory underpinning plyometric movement. To illustrate and learn the basic Exercise Progressions. To provide a broad understanding of individuals responses to plyometric training. To develop basic skills in assessing individual plyometric programme needs. To provide an understanding of the triple extension in sport. To provide an understanding and ability to execute the different phases of the power clean. To develop a comprehensive insight into the biomechanics of the power clean. To demonstrate the teaching points of all relevant plyometric exercises.
