Explosive power drills are performed to generate a quick burst of maximal effort, such as movements required in rugby, MMA, track and field, on tennis courts and many other competitive sports.

The types of exercises detailed in class are to build this quick, explosive power that requires a maximum or near maximum power output from the athlete in a short amount of time. The goal of explosive exercise training is to ultimately move weights relative to an individual very quickly. But to get to that point safely, without risking injury, it's important to start with light weights and slow controlled movements before increasing weight. Over a matter of sessions the weight lifted and speed at which it's lifted will be increased.
