The efficacy and safety of lower-limb plyometric training in older adults: a systematic review

Publication at Faculty of Physical Education and Sport |

Abstract

The aging process is associated with a progressive decline of neuromuscular function, increased risk of falls and fractures, impaired functional performance, and loss of independence. Plyometric training may mitigate or even reverse such age-related deterioration; however, little research on the effects of plyometric exercises has been performed in older adults.
