Knee Tuck Jumps

Knee-Tuck Jumps

Objective: Improve vertical jumping ability and explosive power.

Standing in a vertical position with feet shoulder width apart, jump vertically, bringing the knees up to the chest before returning to the ground.  Land in a standing position and repeat immediately, spending as little time on the ground as possible.

Note: To prevent knee injuries, be sure to land with the knees slightly bent.  To improve explosive power, be sure to spend as little time on the ground in-between jumps as possible.
