Plyometrics means "explosive power" training.
You should perform this workout before any muscle workouts, as plyometrics does not fatigue the muscles, while muscle workouts do cause inflammation and fatigue (its not necessarily a bad thing). Doing plyometrics before these workouts will allow you to do both workouts with maximum efficiency and effort.
It can increase your athleticism and prevent injury. Plyometrics teaches your nervous system to use your muscle skeletal system for maximized efficiency in movement.
It is a jumping technique optimized for vertical jump height, and minimizes "horizontal drifting" during the jump, by using a blocking foot to transfer the horizontal run up energy into vertical jumping prowess.
Many athletes use it in ball games to get a higher reach of the ball or stay airborne for a longer period of time, giving an edge of athleticism.
If you have not learnt the technique, it will add many inches to your vertical instantly after you mastered it.
