Depth Jump

A depth jump is an athletic exercise that involves jumping off a raised platform and immediately jumping again upon landing. The purpose is to improve explosive strength and power in the legs. When you drop and land, your muscles stretch and store energy, which you then use to propel yourself upward again. It’s commonly used in training for sports that require quick, powerful jumps, such as basketball or volleyball. This exercise emphasizes the benefits of reactive strength, helping athletes enhance their performance through better control and power in their movements.
