Why plyometrics are so important as you get older

Placing Pep back to your steps with plyometrics

Even if you follow your fitness as a whole as you get older, you might lose some of your “Pep”.

So how do you prevent this? This boils down to a consistent and comprehensive approach for your fitness. Even though you begin to lose overall strength every decade before 20, you can still get muscle mass. But maintaining muscle mass is only part of the equation for sustainable health as you get older. You also need to do your strength.

Maintaining your current power output (or always increasing it) as an adult does not have to be done through what you see doing professional athletes. High -level power movements, high intensity such as cleaning, snatch, and jerk are excellent strength and conditioning exercises. But there are movements that have other low and efficient impacts to help you improve your athletic.

Lower level strength or plyometric movements such as jumping ropes, jumping, agility stairs, family planning swings, and even sprint can be easily added to the program to increase power as we get older.

There are many different streams of thought about what you have to do and how you should do it. But my advice is to find something that suits your goals and routines and go with him.

Adding plyometric or electric work to your current exercise will help you feel more confident with dynamic athletic movements. Make sure you add it to the beginning of your exercise so you don’t do it when you are tired.

Why strength is important

So why is in power? Why is that important? If you stumble and capture yourself, it requires muscle loading suddenly and then the impulse quickly returns so as not to fall. If you don’t have enough strength to do this, you might fall, which can mean a broken bone.

Moving power quickly and make fast movements.

Many athletes who are old do not train many rapid twitching muscle movements, which ultimately limit their overall power capabilities. Storing tabs at your reaction time and motor control is also important for aging brain. Train plyometrics helping with all this.
