Abstract
Exercises that involve plyometrics are typically broken up into a stretch-shortening cycle with three phases: an eccentric phase (rapid muscle lengthening), an amortization phase (short resting interval), and a concentric phase (explosive muscle shortening). How quickly an athlete transitions from the eccentric to the concentric phase is a measure of his power. Plyometric training (PT) affects the neuromuscular components of the body for maximum contraction of muscle in minimum time. Soccer is a multidimensional sport and requires various strength training, endurance training, power and agility training, and soccer tactical training. Considering all facts, PT has got a strong tendency to develop cardiovascular and neuromuscular fitness. PT improves VO2 max, explosive strength, linear sprint speed, effective kicking, endurance, agility, soccer skills, and vertical jump ability in athletes of any age. PT improves tendon strengthening and increases muscle elasticity, which results in avoiding injuries.
