raziel Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 So I've been hitting the plyometrics in order to increase my vertical jump. What I'm wondering is if I can work some cardio training (treadmill, crosstrainer, bike, etc) within the same time period as my plyo training. I don't work both in the same day, just within a day or two of each other. Will my plyometrics training suffer? Any experiences? Thanks.

Davekline Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yes, it should not be a problem as you are training two different aspects of overall fitness. With plyometrics in general you have to watch overtraining and overuse type situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 on the cardio, keep your intensity low, switch exercises every workout. Even swim too. JasonL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekline Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Just out of curiousity, what plyometric excercises are you doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I always warm up for plyos with some sprints. Need to get the body temp up as 220 pound plyos are hard on the system! Easy way to get injured. Do cardio on off days and you should have no problems at all. Sometimes I will even do 15-20 minutes of sprints, then follow it with plyos. Noever had any issues with it.
