1. What are
Plyometrics?
(Latin origin means
"measurable increases") Plyometrics is a series of
hops, skips, jumps and foot movements that originated in Europe
(Russia). I have personally trained over 15,000 athletes the
past five years and I guarantee you as a parent nothing your son
or daughter ever does as an athlete will improve their foot
speed, quickness, explosiveness and vertical jump like
plyometrics. –Mike Rangel
2. What are the age limits for
plyometrics?
Ages 8-40. Plyometrics
under qualified teachers is highly recommended for athletics
beginning at age 8.
3. How long should my son or
daughter do plyometrics?
Plyometrics should become
a year round training support system.
4. How often should my son or
daughter do plyometrics?
Off season 2 -3 times per
week. Pre-season 2 times per week. In season 1 time per week.
Please note all athletes need 48 hours rest in between each plyo
workout.
5. Can an athlete plyo and then
go to practice or practice and then plyo?
Absolutely. In fact many
of players have commented that their best practices are after
they plyo first.
6. How does Plyo City (Stationary
Facility) compare to Acceleration Programs?
PlyoCity-Maumee
10 sessions= $150.00

Average=$13-15 per session.
Northwest Ohio Area Acceleration

two-three sessions per week. Average $20-30 per session. So
as you can see, Plyo City rates are far less than all of the
area acceleration programs!
7. Can plyometrics help prevent
injuries?
Over the past 8 years
Plyo City has trained sons and daughters of 12 orthopedic
surgeons. Every single doctor has said that the mat drills Plyo
City does has a tremendous impact on developing strength in the
knee joint and thus helps prevent knee injuries (ACL, MCL etc).

program, they will move up in intensity approximately every 4-6
weeks. |
