Plyometric training trains the central nervous to "master" a certain skill or movement, as you repeat activity specific activities.
PLyometrics also improve the elasticity of muscle tendons, which allow you to return energy back into a movement for added power. EX. Jumping takes your own bodyweight and propels if back up.
Plyometrics also can help with strength, however it is better to couple plyometrics with strength training to get maximum effect.
