Benefits of Box Jumps
Below are three benefits of the box jump that coaches and athletes from most strength, power, and fitness sports can expect when implementing box jumps into a training regimen. Increase Rate of Force Production Increased force production can come from a variety of methods, such as building stronger legs with squat, deadlifts, and other forms of resistance training. However, in most sports, such as weightlifting, strongman, functional fitness, and more formal athletics; the ability to promote force at increasing rates is a key indicator of athletic potential. Power output is influenced by both the ability to increase force (at whatever speed) and the athlete’s ability to promote fast twitch muscle fiber responses to increase the speed of the forceful contraction. Box jumps can be used to increase athletic potential, increase lower body explosiveness, and have direct carry over to other forms of jumping, squatting, deadlifting, sprinting, and weightlifting. paltroxt
