Reactive Single Leg Broad Jump

Exercise Index, VideoLeave a comment

The reactive single leg broad jump is an advanced plyometric exercise that develops explosive single-leg power by chaining multiple jumps together while maintaining continuous reactive strength throughout the movement sequence. This sophisticated training technique builds upon traditional single leg broad jumps by eliminating the pause between repetitions, forcing athletes to stay springy and immediately transition from landing into the next explosive jump. Perfect for track athletes and advanced trainees seeking to improve sprint performance and unilateral power, this exercise targets the stretch-shortening cycle to enhance neuromuscular efficiency and explosive athletic movement patterns.
