Why Ballistic Training

My goal is for Wikipedia have a reference to a training method that I believe to be the best I have personally used. I have done the research from all the studies listed and have actually worked out on ballistic machines myself. I agree with the studies and with their conclusions. This article is beginning of what I hope will develop into a review of those articles and studies as is the work done by Sheett, Kelso, and Newell in their articles. The similarities are a result of the material contained in the studies sited.

I have removed the notability notice since the topic certainly fulfills the criterion of having considerable attemption within the field of sports science. It still needs wikifying but I'm not competent. -- Jamougha —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.225.75 (talk) 11:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

It is unclear to me what "(e.g., 30-45% of 1-RM)" means. What is 1-RM? --62.45.2.71 (talk) 16:01, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

It means a weight that you can lift only once (1RM = one rep max = one repetition maximum) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.129.68 (talk) 06:44, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Merging with plyometrics?

Maybe this article should be merged with plyometrics. I find very redundant having two articles talking about concepts that are so similar that differentiating them is near impossible. I don't know if redirectin from balistic training to plyo or the other way around, but I feel on or the other being a subsection of the bigger one would be better.189.236.104.200 (talk) 01:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

An internet search on "plyometrics vs ballistic training" will give you a number of reasons as to why these are different, and so should not be merged. 182.239.152.216 (talk) 08:39, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
