Best Use For Improving Vertical Jump

The 123 jump is a terrific single leg jumping exercise because it is basically a series of running jumps. This is a highly sports specific drill which helps develop reactivity and movement efficiency. The addition of the medicine ball helps add some resistance to your jumps and takes away much of the power generated by your arms which forces your legs and core to do more of the work.

Technique Tips

The emphasis of this drill should be on taking fast steps and jumping for both height and distance.
