Ballistic training involves throwing the weight and jumping with it. It helps athletes to imitate the playing environment such as in the case of cricket, basketball and tennis where one needs to accelerate to throw an object back immediately. According to a 2008 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, one can increase their strength by adding some ballistic exercises to their training program. Unlike traditional strength training, where you can focus on only one muscle at a time, ballistic exercises involve working on different muscles simultaneously. These not only use the power produced in the core to train the body but also help it to pass throughout the body including hands or feet, which can help in performing well in sprinting, throwing, kicking.
