How to do Depth Jump to Broad Jump
- 01Setup
Position a stable box or platform (6-18 inches high) in front of an open, clear space, ensuring enough room for a broad jump.
- 02Setup
Stand on the edge of the box with your feet hip-width apart, toes slightly over the edge, and arms ready to swing.
- 03
Step or gently fall off the box, landing softly on the balls of your feet, then immediately absorbing the impact by bending your knees and hips into a quarter squat.
- 04
Immediately explode forward from the squat position, swinging your arms powerfully forward and upward, driving through your heels to propel yourself into a broad jump.
- 05
Land softly with both feet simultaneously, absorbing the impact by bending your knees and hips, maintaining balance and control.
- 06
Reset your body position and prepare for the next repetition, ensuring full recovery if performing multiple jumps.
Tips
- Focus on minimal ground contact time after landing from the box; the goal is to quickly transition from absorption to powerful propulsion.
- Utilize an aggressive arm swing during the broad jump to generate additional momentum and maximize horizontal distance and power.
- Ensure a soft, controlled landing for both parts of the jump (off the box and broad jump) to protect your joints and maintain balance.
- Choose an appropriate box height that allows for proper landing mechanics and an immediate, forceful transition into the broad jump without excessive strain.
Common mistakes
- Pausing too long after landing from the box reduces the plyometric effect; immediately transition from the depth jump landing into the broad jump.
- Landing stiff-legged from the broad jump increases impact on joints; land softly by bending your knees and hips to absorb the force.
- Not using the arms effectively limits jump distance and power; actively swing your arms forward and up during the broad jump to generate more propulsion.
