Eccentric Plyometrics for Total-Body Power & Athletic Transfer
Jan 9, 2026
Description
A training video from the Overtime Athletes channel that teaches and demonstrates a series of eccentric‑focused plyometric exercises designed to build total‑body power and athletic performance. In this session you’ll see a variety of dynamic movements that make use of rapid eccentric actions (where muscles lengthen under tension before quickly reversing to explosive movements), a core principle of plyometric training that enhances the body’s ability to produce force and transfer that force efficiently in sport‑specific actions. Plyometrics rely on the stretch‑shortening cycle — the rapid transition from muscle stretching (eccentric phase) to contraction (concentric phase) — which coaches often use to improve explosiveness, agility, and speed across athletic activities.
