What energy system is used in plyometrics?

Plyometrics primarily utilize the anaerobic energy system, specifically the ATP-CP (adenosine triphosphate-creatine phosphate) system. This system provides immediate energy for short bursts of high-intensity activities, such as jumps and explosive movements, lasting around 10 seconds. Additionally, the anaerobic glycolysis pathway may contribute during longer plyometric sessions, especially as the intensity and duration increase.
