Jump Exercises to Incorporate Into Your Workout

By Neal Prokop, Sport Performance Specialist

To train for power and explosiveness, jumps need to be incorporated into your workout! Jumps are a type of plyometric exercises that utilize the stretch-shortening cycle. Jumps require muscles to exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.

Jumps have progressions, and need to be logically incorporated into your programs. Here is a sample of some of the jump that we utilize.
