Gut health is receiving so much attention because of the multiple positive outcomes of a healthy gut. We've created this simple, free, course as an introduction to improving your gut health journey starting today!
In this post I'm unveiling optimal work-to-rest ratios in plyometrics, speed, and agility training for beginners.
For beginners, diving into Plyometrics, Speed, and Agility Training, nailing the work-to-rest ratios is key to unleashing potential and minimising injury risk. Guided by insights from the United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association and the National Strength and Conditioning Association, backed by science — understanding these ratios is fundamental. However in My experience most look to minimise rest and substitute quality for quantity. This increases the risk of injury and means we are training for endurance rather then speed, agility or power. so what are the rules, read on to find out.
In Plyometrics (high speed jump training), a work-to-rest ratio of 1:15 to 1:20 is advised. This ensures ample recovery (15-20 seconds) for every second of high-intensity exercise — optimising power development while mitigating the risk of fatigue-related injuries.
For Speed and Agility training, the recommended work-to-rest ratio is 1:3 to 1:5. This balance of high-intensity activity with shorter rest periods fosters skill development, speed, and change-of-direction abilities while allowing sufficient recovery.
Nailing these ratios will provide you with a solid foundation for optimising performance gains and reducing the risk of injury in Plyometrics, Speed, and Agility training regardless of your experience level.
