Exercise Description

The depth jump to broad jump exercise builds explosive power and speed. It trains your legs to produce maximum force quickly for sports and athletic performance.

How To

1. Stand on a box or platform 12-18 inches high with feet shoulder-width apart 2. Step off the box and land softly on both feet with knees slightly bent 3. Immediately upon landing, drop into a quarter squat position 4. Explode forward into a broad jump, driving your arms back and extending your hips 5. Land softly on both feet and repeat the depth jump to broad jump sequence

Form Tips

• Keep your knees soft when landing from the depth jump to absorb impact properly • Use your arms to drive momentum forward during the broad jump phase • Land the depth jump to broad jump with control - don't let your knees cave inward • Keep the transition time between landing and jumping as short as possible

Common Mistakes

• Landing too hard from the initial drop, which reduces power for the broad jump • Pausing too long between the depth jump landing and the broad jump takeoff • Using a box that's too high for your fitness level during the depth jump to broad jump
