Plyometrics for tonguing

Author: Arnoldstang

It seems that they've been using this training method for athletes since the 1980's. It involves actions that are quick/jerky like jumping rope. They clap their hands during pushups. They hop on one foot. All these actions are very quick movements. Perhaps it works the fast twitch muscles?
Has anyone tried to transfer these techniques to tonguing. We might do 15 reps of two notes as quick as you can. with space of course between. Maybe do 3 sets with the last set being 3 very quick notes.

Any ideas. Are there fast twitch muscles in the tongue?
