PLYOMETRIC PERFORMANCE

If you think an athlete has a ground contact of 150 milliseconds is good, so 120 milliseconds must be better. Right? A more informed question is: What's it better for? From what I have seen the topic of ground contact time has become an increasingly common metric in plyometric training. There is a specific reason for this. The amount of time we see that an athlete takes when contacting the ground during a plyometric movement gives feedback about the way the athlete is produci
