For Low Intensity Plyometrics, which option best describes the weekly volume?

• A. 60-80 contacts per session
• B. 40-60 contacts per session (<120 per week)
• C. 20-30 contacts per session
• D. 80-100 contacts per session

Answer: (B)

Low-intensity plyometrics aim to build nervous and muscular tolerance with a gentle loading pattern, so the weekly volume should be moderate and easily recoverable. Describing a typical session with about 40-60 foot contacts keeps the level manageable, and stating that the weekly total should stay under 120 ensures you don’t accumulate too much stress across the week. This balance lets the athlete practice proper mechanics and reaction without risking overuse or form breakdown.

Higher per-session counts, like 60-80 or 80-100, would quickly push the weekly total over that safe ceiling if you train more than once or twice weekly, increasing tissue stress. On the other hand, very low counts such as 20-30 per session may be too small to elicit meaningful adaptation for most programs. So, the description that best matches typical low-intensity guidelines is 40-60 contacts per session with a weekly total under 120.
