Box jumps are a type of plyometric exercise that involves jumping onto a sturdy platform, often called a box. 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 box, 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, athletic training, and fitness classes to enhance overall performance and build lower body strength. Proper technique is essential to prevent injury.
