WHAT IS POWER?

• The ability to produce maximal force in the shortest amount of time. Power can be used to accelerate, avoid movement or decelerate movement at a joint.

BENEFITS:​

• Increase vertical and broad jump.

• Increase speed and agility.

• Increase hitting, throwing, kicking, and punching power.

• Reduce chances of injury (by increasing isometric and eccentric power).

• Fast-twitch muscle fiber development.

HOW:

• Making sure the quality of movement is prioritized.

• Following effective progressions.

• Offering regressions when needed.

• Light-implement: Medicine ball explosive training (overhead, rotational, and pushing).

• Bodyweight implement: Plyometrics, speed, change of direction, and agility training.

• Heavy-implement: Olympic lifting, explosive kettlebell (ex. kettlebell swings), and explosive dumbbell (ex. dumbbell snatches) training.
