I purchased the Plyo Box to bring to my gym because they don't offer any plyometric boxes. Plyometrics can increase the speed at which athletes can develop force and injury prevention for athletes in sports where there is a high degree of jumping, landing and side-stepping movements. Plyometrics have been shown to be highly effective in ACL injury prevention programs for athletes in sports such as volleyball, basketball and soccer (Hewett, 1996). The Adjustable Plyo Box is perfect for increasing my overall athletic power. Note: The Plyo Box only rises to 24" so if you need a higher platform you might want to consider an alternative to the Plyo Box.
