< strong>Common mistakes in box jump training!
The box jump is a great training move in explosive strength training! It can very well help you improve explosive power, train jumping movements, improve landing skills during sports, and improve performance on the sports field
However, explosive training, as the top training type of the training pyramid, requires very good Basics of movement (movement skills and strength basis). Therefore, many people have problems with the seemingly simple box jump!
The following is a very common box jumping mistake:
As shown in the picture, when jumping on the box, the back is arched and the squat is too low!
Dangers of doing this:
A very bad thing when bending your spine under gravity impact will cause asymmetrical pressure on your spine over a long period of time. There are hidden dangers to spinal health!
When squatting to cushion gravity, squat too low and your muscles will not absorb the force properly. On the contrary, this impacts your joints and connective tissues, increasing the chance of injury.
Correct action:
Start in a half-squat position, keep your spine neutral and stable when landing, and bend your hips and knees at the same time to cushion the landing in a half-squat or quarter-squat position! Instead of using joints and tendons and ligaments!
At the same time, choose a lower box. As mentioned before, the higher the box, the better. The higher the box, the higher the risk of injury. (falling, not standing still) is far more beneficial
