Plyometrics – The way to get faster

Plyometrics is the exercises to do, to get more speed, besides actually doing sprints. Plyometrics are exercises designed to get your body, to build fast twitch muscles. Fast twitch muscles is what you use when you do explosive movements. This can be sprint and jumps. This will especially help you with acceleration and jump length.

This is very useful for paintball, since we want to move as fast as possible, when we decide to move. And when we do jump, like into a snake, we want to be able to be vertical as long as possible, as this makes use a very small target.

Another good thing about plyometrics, is they are very suitable for Tabata training. So read my article about Tabata for Paintball.
