Muscles
- Primary
- glutes
- Supporting
- quads, calves
Mechanics
- Pattern
- power
- Equipment
- bodyweight
- Geometry
- Variable Range
- Energy model
- ATP-CP System (<10s)
- Target feel
- Landing is brief — minimal ground contact before the reactive jump.
- Progression
- Increase box height to 30" once contact time is minimal.
- Regression
- Box jump (step-down) — focus on landing mechanics before adding depth.
Watch for
- Stepping down instead of stepping off
- Pausing on landing before jumping
- Landing with stiff knees
Substitutions
- Box jump (step-down)
- Broad jump
- Sprint repeats (30 m × 6)
