Plyometric training — jumps, bounds, explosive movements — builds a kind of power that traditional slow strength training doesn't fully develop on its own, but it comes with a real prerequisite.
A strength base should come before explosive training
Introducing jump training to a member with limited strength and movement control increases injury risk without providing much benefit — basic strength should generally come first.
Landing mechanics matter more than the jump itself
How a member lands — controlled and quiet, not a hard, uncontrolled thud — is a bigger factor in injury prevention than the height or distance of the jump itself.
