How to train leg explosiveness?

In the modern information-rich society, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and they often use exercise to improve their physical fitness. Many people choose to run fast, liking speed and passion. At the same time, these people who like running often cannot run faster after a certain point. Therefore, they all want to improve their leg explosiveness. So, how do you train your leg explosiveness?

Single-leg step jump

This exercise method can effectively improve leg strength and ankle strength. First, use one leg to support yourself, then use the other leg to jump forward as far as possible. Stop when you jump about 20 meters, and then jump with the other leg. When doing this exercise, pay attention to the choice of venue. Try to practice on grass or a plastic track (this type of venue will protect your knees). While practicing, also pay attention to protecting your knee and ankle joints to prevent sprains.

Squat on the spot with straight legs and abdomen contraction

This exercise method can enhance the explosive power of the legs and the strength of the ankle joints while also exercising the coordination of the lower limbs. First, squat down in place, then jump up as high as you can, keeping your abs in and your legs together as you jump. Do 10 times in a set, take a good rest after each set and then practice repeatedly. When doing this exercise, pay attention to the speed of the jump and try to increase your height as much as possible when jumping.

Half squat side frog jump

This exercise method can achieve the same effect as the "full squat on the spot with straight legs and abdominal contraction". When doing this exercise, first hold both hands behind your back, maintain a half-squat position, and frog jump 5 meters to the side of the body, then jump back. Do 5 times as a set. After each set, take a full rest and then repeat the exercise. When performing this exercise, the side jump should be as large as possible, and the connecting movements should be fast and coordinated.

Weight-bearing movement

Carry relatively heavy objects on your back or carry a lighter teammate on your back, place markers about 6-10 meters away, run to another marker in a cross-step manner in front of one marker, and run back using a sliding step after your hand touches the other marker. Practice each unit for half a minute, and repeat after each set and sufficient rest. It can enhance the strength and coordination of the lower limbs.
