A very intense series of hops. No arm hops help to increase explosiveness within calf and hip flexor muscles.
Description:
Place hands on head
Begin by jumping up and lifting legs upward
Lift legs up until they touch chest, explode legs downwards until legs touch the ground.
Laundry Jump
Enhances the explosiveness of lateral movements, especially cutting ability and high velocity change of directions.
Description:
Begin by using a cone, paper bag, or some other break-away object at and elevated level 8 to 24 inches high
Jump laterally over object
Strive to jump as high and far as you can back and forth over object
Split Leg Hop
Helps to improve single leg explosiveness.
Split leg hops use an exaggerated jumping / running motion in order to work most of the lower body's muscles explosively.
Description:
Split leg hop is a simple bounding exercise that uses an exaggerated motion
When landing have leg in near 90 degree angle
Strive for maximum distance and height
Double Leg Hop
Similar to single leg hop but less stress is placed upon body.
Description:
Use illustrations for reference on how to do double leg hop
Strive for maximum distance when doing this exercise
Single-Leg Bounding
Somewhat similar to the split leg hop, but emphasizes horizontal jumping / acceleration to a greater extent.
Description:
Simply an exercise that consists of multiple long jumps
Strive for maximum distance and explosiveness
