Drop Jump

A drop jump is a type of exercise used primarily in sports training to improve explosive strength and power. It involves an athlete stepping off a raised platform and, upon landing, immediately jumping as high as possible. This movement trains the muscles to react quickly and efficiently, promoting better performance in activities like running, jumping, and overall athleticism. Drop jumps also help enhance the stretch reflex of the muscles, making them more responsive during explosive movements. Coaches often incorporate this exercise into training regimens for athletes to boost their agility and vertical jump capabilities.
