Training to failure with Plyometrics is counterproductive and very dangerous. Since there are so many exercises which can be classified as plyometric, some can be considered dangerous. There is a higher risk of injury due to the heavy loads applied to the muscle and tendons when compared to traditional weight training. Finally, one of the biggest cases against Plyometrics is that there are very few well-controlled studies that have been conducted to identify the ideal protocol for plyometric training and its effectiveness as part of a training cycle. Also a number of studies have also produced inconclusive results. Because the research on this training program is fairly new, most of the case support for Plyometrics includes testimonials form coaches and athletes and some studies (Holcomb 36).Overall, plyometric training had improved dramatically since it was first introduced, and when performed correctly and gradually introduced with other complete training programs, it has shown that it can be productive and done with a small risk of injury. ...
