Is plyometrics anaerobic or aerobic?

Ok first off don't give me wikianswers' answer, because that didnt explain it all.

More Detail:
Depth jumps 3x10
Box jumps 3x10
Box jump march 3x10

Second, should this be on my off days, or during my workout. I have a full body workout.

Even more detail:
Yes I am an athlete trying to improve my jump.

I run atleast 3 miles on Tuesday and Thursday.
