If you want to get faster, more explosive aka quicker you have to increase Mass or Force into the ground (weight/Load) and Acceleration (Speed). Force = Mass x Acceleration (F=MxA) or Acceleration = Velocity over Time (A=V/T). Simply if you increase load or weight (mass) on a squat or vertical jump you have the potential to be faster. In addition, if you can improve speed (acceleration) you also have the potential to be quicker. Or if you improve the ability to apply more

Most of us don't immediately think of "jumping" and "explosive" movements when we picture a fitness routine for adults over 60. Understandably, plyometric training is often associated with athletic performance and high-intensity sports, so it may seem unsuitable at first. However, when carefully executed and introduced through gradual progression, plyometrics can provide significant advantages for seniors - particularly when it comes to preserving muscle mass, reactivity, bal
