How to improve leg explosiveness?

Many of our friends like sports in life, especially in basketball or football. A person's explosive power is particularly important. Explosive power refers to a person's ability to move suddenly in an instant. However, we can also see that some friends do not have very good explosive power. This requires us to improve it through exercise and training in normal times. So, how to improve leg explosive power? Let’s take a look below.

Depth jump exercise, what is depth jump? As the name suggests, it refers to the action process of jumping down from a high place and then jumping up to another high place (either with both legs or with one leg). For example, jumping off a box and then jumping back up again, or jumping over hurdles continuously. In addition, athletes should pay attention to jumping quickly after landing when doing the following exercises. Whether you land with both feet or one foot, you should be flexible and make a "grabbing the ground" movement. Unlike the previous exercises, you don't need to use weights when doing depth jumps. But it is also important that the ground on which you practice is soft. The ground should be able to act as a "buffer", such as a gymnastics mat. In short, try to avoid doing depth jump exercises directly on the concrete floor.

1. Jump with both feet - choose a height of about 80 cm, a jump box or a stool will do, and place a hurdle 1 meter away from the jump box. The practitioner stands on it and jumps down. As soon as both feet touch the ground, jump over the hurdle as quickly as possible. As the practitioner's leg strength improves, the hurdles can be added and the height can be increased, depending on the individual. In addition, you can also do continuous frog jumps after jumping from a high place.

2. Single-leg hopping - choose a height of about 80 cm, a jump box or a stool will do. The practitioner stands on it and jumps down. As soon as both feet touch the ground, quickly jump over the hurdle with one foot or continue with a single-leg hop. After a period of weight-bearing and depth jump exercises, students' leg strength and explosive power will be greatly improved. When they then carry out special exercises, not only will they not get injured, but they will also achieve twice the result with half the effort in improving their performance.

Through the above introduction, we now know how to improve the explosive power of the legs. This is also a kind of training through reasonable exercise in normal times. Therefore, we must carry out targeted exercise in normal times, but it also requires us to persist in it for a long time. In addition, we must also do it within our ability when exercising.
