Editing Plyometrics (section)

==Etymology==
The term ''plyometric'' is a combination of [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] words [[wikt:πλείων|πλείων]] (''pleíōn''), which means "more", and [[wikt:μέτρον|μέτρον]] (''métron'') "measure". Fred Wilt admits that it is not a very good term, but it was the best he could come up with. The spelling that would match the Greek origin is ''pliometrics''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Knuttgen |first1= Howard G. |last2= Kraemer |first2= William J. |date= 1987 |title= Terminology and Measurement in Exercise Performance |url= https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/citation/1987/02000/terminology_and_measurement_in_exercise.1.aspx|journal= Journal of Applied Sport Science Research |volume= 1 |issue= 1 |pages= 1–10 |doi= |access-date= December 16, 2023}}</ref> Several imaginary Greek words that would explain the ''y'' have been cited.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Chmielewski |first1= Terese L. |last2= Myer |first2= Gregory D. |last3= Kauffman |first3= Douglas |last4= Tillman |first4= Susan M. |date= 2006 |title= Plyometric Exercise in the Rehabilitation of Athletes: Physiological Responses and Clinical Application |url=
