Plyometric exercises differ widely in the demands they place on the neuromuscular system. Two variables—ground contact time and impact momentum—largely determine the type of adaptation an athlete develops. Short contact times emphasize reactive strength and fast stretch-shortening cycle performance. Longer contacts increase force production demands. Higher-impact movements elevate eccentric loading and braking requirements. Classifying exercises this way supports safer progressions, clearer training objectives, and more efficient power development. @ZezzeAthletics
