Plyometric training programmes improve motor performance in prepubertal children
Children with low motor competence have lower levels of physical fitness, perform less physical activity and participate in fewer organised recreational and play activities. Plyometric exercise can potentially enhance a child's speed of movement, running speed, power production and jumping ability. However, it is unclear whether plyometric training can be a safe and effective way to progress exercise load in young children.
