Exercise Database

1. Assume a lunge position with one leg forward (hip and knee joints flexed to approximately 90) and the other behind the midline of the body.
2. Begin with a countermovement (swing arms back).
3. Explosively jump up, the arm arms to assist as needed. While off the ground, switch the position of the legs. Maximum height and power should be emphasized.
4. When landing, maintain the lunge position (opposite leg forward) and immediately repeat the lunge.

N.B. Do not land in too deep of a lunge, as the stretch-shortening cycle may not be able to effectively contribute to subsequent jumps.
