@strengthlaboratory: Tribute to Professor Yuri Verkhoshansky- “Father of Plyometrics” Yuri Verkhoshansky was a Russian scientist that researched and pioneered plyometrics training as a method to improve athletic performance. His first research study was published in 1964, but he had been implementing these training modalities since the 1950’s. Fascinating to see most of his work is still used today in athletic performance, leaving a legacy in exercise science.
