Beilein's workouts included plyometrics, but he emphasized mental flexibility as a priority.
Interestingly, while the previous study was unable to demonstrate a benefit of plyometrics on rowing performance [3], an estimated 50% of rowing coaches continue to include plyometric training into their training programs to improve rowing power [2].
He said he kept in shape with a regimen that includes yoga, plyometrics and swimming, and said in a conference call yesterday that he wanted to play until age 50.
Importantly, any modified programme must still include all three components of balance, plyometrics and technique and ensure instruction points/cues are used to emphasise correct sidestep and landing movements.
Neuromuscular training is a broad term used to incorporate many components of exercise training including: balance, perturbation, agility, plyometrics, strength and endurance [ 37, 38].
Training regimes can include: weight training, high intesnity interval training (HIIT), continuous training, interval training, low or high intensity, plyometrics, core strengthening, circuit training, group exercise classes and many more.
Therefore, we compared programs involving mainly traditional resistance exercises (TREs) with programs that combine different activity patterns during the training intervention (COM; programs including TRE and ballistic exercises, plyometrics, weight lifting, body weight exercises, and/or sprint training during training cycles).
