Abstract

Football players need to be physically fit so that they can run with strength, change directionquickly off the mark to control the game, pass properly, and tackle effectively for the duration of the game.In addition, players need to be able to tackle well for the duration of the game. In addition to having theskills required to play the game, individuals who are interested in playing football need to be inexceptional physical condition in order to participate. Plyometric exercises, as their name suggests, aremeant to aid a muscle in reaching its maximal strength in the quickest length of time possible. Plyometricexercises are often performed in a jumping motion. There is a large variety of different types of physicalactivities that may be done in addition to jumping, which is the primary focus of the vast majority of theexercises in this category. The phrase measurable growth derives from a combination of two Latinwords increase and measure. Both the English term measure and the Latin word increase havetheir origins in the Latin language.
