Depth Jumps

Depth jumps Use the increase force from gravity, whereby an athlete will drop from a raised box to the floor, and then explode upwards. The height at which the athlete will drop from, will vary, however aim as a guideline to have the height equal to that of the vertical jump height of the athletes feet. Due to the forces being exerted whilst performing depth jumps, they should only be performed by conditioned athletes. Never jump upwards from a box when performing depth jumps.
