Plyometrics Training in Vertical Jump Training - Should I Feel Sore?

Plyometrics Training in Vertical Jump Training - Should I Feel Sore?

Plyometrics training

It's a question that trainers get all the time, and I think a lot of people are encountering the same type of question. It has to do with training your quickness and your reactive ability. A lot of people start a really good training regime-it's going to include very high intensity events with low repetition; and we're not talking weight training here, we're talking plyometrics and quickness training.

What happens is, people do this training, and they have the right amount of volume, the right amount of repetitions, the right amount of intensity during each repetition. But because they don't feel the burn, or the next day, they don't feel extremely sore, they wonder if it's doing them any good. And that's a really, really great concern, because you don't want to be putting in a lot of work like that and not be getting the results you're expecting. So, sometimes it feels nice to feel the burn or the next day, to feel very sore, because it lets you know that you've worked hard.

What is DOMS?

Well, here's the big difference between strength training and quickness training: strength training is also very important for building a solid vertical; but when it comes to strength training, you're putting a whole lot more tension on each muscle fiber, which results in micro-tears, which are a good thing, and are going to result in increased strength. That is what causes what's called DOMS, which is delayed onset muscle soreness. And that's when you wake up the next morning, and you're sore, or the next couple of days you're pretty sore.

Doing this type of training, you should expect that you're going to be sore-there are ways to minimize that and get a better recovery, but it's very common to be sore, and usually that's not a problem. With strength training, due to the tension you put on the muscle which creates micro-tears that recover and build strength-that is going to make you sore. And that's going to hurt while you're doing it, and it's going to hurt the next day; and that's fine.

However, with plyometrics and quickness training, you will feel warm, you will feel energetic--but don't expect to feel sore, because it's a different kind of training than with strength training.
