Table 5:

Session Considerations/Framework.

A) 3–4 plyometric tasks should be performed each training session. Address various planes of movement within each session B) Start with athletes standing in 2–4 lines, facing the lead instructor C) Sessions should include individual performance, dyad/partner training and a cognitive challenge (based on phases of learning)
Individual Performance	Initially, the skill is taught/demonstrated and the athlete performs the task individually on the instructors command (ex: the instructor calls out “hop” and the athlete responds by performing the task). Movement correctives provided by instructor, starting with intrinsic feedback and then quickly transitioning to extrinsic feedback modeling
Dyad/Partner Training	The athlete partners with the person in line behind them. Start by alternating roles between lead and follower. The lead initiates movements and the follower mirrors (congruent dyad training). Progress dyad to have the lead athlete provide the neurocognitive stimuli to their follower and rotate throughout the session.
Cognitive Challenge	As skill acquisition of the motor task is accomplished, introduce a progressive cognitive challenge. Starting with simple single step (1 cognitive process) and congruent processing (move as commanded), advancing to multi step (2 processed, or addition of memory) and finally incongruent (move opposite as commanded) or opposing cognitive stimuli relative to neuromuscular execution.
