Plyometric Injury Risk
Plyometric injury risk increases when jump contacts spike quickly, landing mechanics collapse, or calves and hips lack strength for absorption.
Plyometric injury risk tracks how many ground contacts—jumps, bounds, hops—you accumulate weekly and how cleanly you land. Spikes above usual volume irritate patellar and Achilles tendons; valgus knees and stiff landings multiply force.
Build contacts gradually and pair with strength.
Common questions
-
How many plyometric contacts per week are safe?
There is no universal number—start low, increase ten to twenty percent when morning pain and jump quality stay stable. Sport and training age matter.
