So what role does plyometrics play in vertical jump training?

Kelly Baggett says jumping is largely related to horsepower and movement efficiency. Horsepower as related to the maximal relative strength and movement efficiency as related to improved coordination.

He goes on to state that the other stuff about plyometrics like reactive ability, supramaximal recruitment, and sciency mumbo jumbo that strength coaches like to talk about is bunk!
