Plyometrics, also known as plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, and activating a rapid stretch-shortening cycle. While commonly associated with jumping, plyometrics can include explosive upper-body movements, such as plyometric push-ups and switch-ups, with the goal of increasing muscular power (speed-strength).
