FASCIA-AWARE TRAINING EXAMPLES
FROM THE BOOK FASCIA TRAINING IN APPLICATION
Drop jumps are a submaximal plyometric exercise that emphasizes lower leg stiffness. The goal is to have a fast rebound off the ground with minimal knee bend and ultra-short contact times.
Plyometrics that involve rapid rebounding movements (e.g., hurdle hops, skipping rope, depth jumps) are beneficial because they prompt muscles to co-contract preemptively which removes slack from the system and creates tension quickly.
