Box jumps are a plyometric exercise that involves jumping onto a sturdy platform, typically a box or a bench. This exercise helps improve explosive strength, agility, and coordination. To perform a box jump, an individual stands in front of the box, bends their knees, and jumps onto the surface, landing softly with their knees slightly bent. Box jumps can be adjusted in height to match the fitness level of the individual. They are commonly used in cross-training and functional fitness programs, making them a popular choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to enhance their performance.
