In this video coach John Shepherd ( provides an overview of a recent session that elite Brazilian coach Nelio Moura took whilst visiting the UK. In the video Nelio showcases some of the plyometric exercises he uses with his athletes. To give you some background Nelio coached the men's and women's Olympic long jump champions in 2008 - Irving Saladino and Maureen Maggi. He currently works with other elite athletes, including those from China. In the video you will see progressions of plyometrics from the warm-up through to drop and block jumps and hurdles jumps and box jumps (drop jump variants).
At the end of the video (circa 7.30min) Nelio talks a little bit about developing power with weights exercises and showcases an app which can measure optimum power output, in this case for the jump squat.
