While plyometric training may not be the primary method for muscle hypertrophy, it can still contribute to muscle development. Plyometric training involves rapid stretching and contracting of muscles, exploiting the stretch-shortening cycle to generate maximal force output. This high-intensity form of exercise primarily targets the fast-twitch muscle fibers, which have greater potential for hypertrophy—the process of muscle growth—compared to slow-twitch fibers. By targeting fast-twitch fibers and using eccentric loading, plyometrics can stimulate muscle growth to a certain extent. For optimal results, it is recommended to incorporate plyometric exercises alongside a well-rounded resistance training program that includes adequate volume, intensity, and progression.
