AbstractInclined plyomertics are performed at anteriorly inclined surface which pre-positions the ankle in dorsiflexion before eccentric phase. Plyometrics performed at various surface like clay, sand, wood, grass, and water training can lead to improvements in vertical jump performance, leg strength muscle power, acceleration, balance, overall agility and bone density especially in younger participants. Plyometrics performed at incline surface improve vertical jump, depth jump, counter movement jump and explosive muscle power of gastrosoleus muscle in comparison with same drills performed on various type of plane surface as muscle is at optimal length tension relation. Effectiveness of incline plyometrics on dynamic balance, speed, agility and quickness, may be a future scope of research study. Various type of drills like squat jump, depth jump, box jump at different inclination angle at different type of surfaces are still to be investigated.
Key words: Incline plyometrics; Balance; Squat jump, Depth jump.
