Box Jump: Enhancing Explosive Power

The box jump is a popular form of training known for improving explosive power. However, its effects on strength, speed, or endurance lack extensive research.

To perform box jumps, athletes select a box height ranging from 6 to 42 inches based on their ability. They then jump onto the box, land lightly, and repeat for the desired number of reps.

Enhancing explosive power involves stimulating high-threshold motor units within the body, and box jumps are a method of achieving this.

This training is suitable for fitness enthusiasts, gym attendees, and those working with personal trainers.
