Why Medicine ball matters
Medicine balls are especially useful for explosive movements where releasing the load is helpful.
A practical example
Performing chest passes into a suitable wall with a partner-safe setup.

Using a ball not designed for slamming or throwing it near other gym users.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
