Former Soviet Sport Scientist Yuri Verkhoshansky has died. He was a
pioneer in exercise science & developed what is commonly known as &
more frequently misunderstood & mis-labled as Plyometrics, or shock
training as he called it. Professor Verkhoshansky's knowledge & research are one of the primary
reasons that allowed the Soviet Sport Machine to dominate
international competition in a plethora of sports from the late 60s
through the 70s & into the 80s. It's a true shame that American athletes & coaches even today still do
not approach training the body with the intellectualism that Yuri did
40 years ago. Prayers for his family, & may 'The Father of Plyometrics' rest in peace.
