Explosive Power Development

Case Study: Client B - Explosive Power Development

Client B is a striker with a top football club. His standard training consisted of medium paced running, agility drills through cones and some occasional jumps over cones, plus the usual soccer skill sessions.

Team Fitness designed a gym based weight-training programme for the whole body, and introduced interval training into his running schedule.

After 1 month, Team Fitness added light plyometrics to Client B’s training regime. These increased in intensity during the subsequent 6 weeks.

Team Fitness then introduced more complex exercises - weight training and plyometrics in specific combinations.

During testing Team Fitness demonstrated that Client B had progressed by adding 7 inches to his standing jump height. This was translated to a much greater gain in the dynamics of the match situation.
