High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Plyo Training for Baseball Players

High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Plyo Training for Baseball Players

At ProSource Athletic Performance, we emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of plyometric training for baseball players. In our latest video, High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Training with Plyo Balls, we explore the ideal times and techniques for each training intensity.

Key Insights:

• High Intensity Training in the Off-Season:
  Off-season is the perfect time to focus on high intensity throwing with plyo balls. With no games on the horizon, you can push your limits safely and effectively.

• Defining High Intensity Throwing:
  High intensity means giving your maximum effort—throwing as hard as you can to enhance your arm speed and velocity.

• Debunking Low Intensity Training:
  Low intensity training should not be a deliberate focus for improving velocity. While there are times to back off, maintaining intensity is crucial for progress.

• Volume Strategies:
  High volume training is best suited for the off-season, while low volume training comes into play during the season when competition is a factor. You can incorporate low volume, high intensity drills on high throwing days during the season.

• Safety and Preparation:
  Jumping into a high intensity plyo training program without preparation can lead to injuries. Gradually build your training volume and intensity to ensure your arm adapts to the stress of throwing.

• Recommended Drills:
  The video concludes with specific high intensity throwing drills that players can implement into their training routines.
