Unlike typical strength training exercises, designed to increase muscular strength and mass, plyometric exercises involve quick, explosive movements that are effective in increasing speed and power. The theory behind these exercises is based around having muscles exert maximum force in as short a time as possible and by focusing on moving from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or explosive way. Before doing plyometric exercises, you should already possess a good all round level of strength in all the major muscle groups.
