very significant.. have to be in very good shape as a base, then other things like plyos etc can truly be used at high intensities.. people who are getting shin splints from lateral barrier jumps or 18 inch depth jumps are just way too weak and extremely underdeveloped, this can be fixed by using other forms of low level reactive work or things like sprints, jump rope, basketball, etc or a combination of all of them..
thing is, many people think its some kind of quick cure.. it's not, in fact tendon composition develops at a much slower rate than muscle, so consistency is key.. if by only playing basketball you are too weak to perform certain plyo-like exercises, then thats where the low level reactive stuff comes in, as prep work.. etc.
you don't really have any of those issues i was just giving you some examples..
the ability to elastically return more energy with the same effort is big, that is what eventually separates good athletes from the elite.. have to work those qualities or you end up becoming a sluggish powerlifter.
peace man
