[VO2Commander]

Plyometrics can give endurance athletes a powerful edge.
Benefits of explosive movements:

• Improves running economy and stride efficiency.
• Increases power output, especially for hills and sprints.
• Strengthens muscles and connective tissues, reducing injury risk.
• Enhances neuromuscular coordination.

Examples: box jumps, jump squats, bounds.

"Explosive power translates to sustained speed."
