Single Leg Hops (In-Place)
Single leg hops in place are the foundational plyometric exercise every athlete needs to master before progressing to advanced power training. This comprehensive guide breaks down the biomechanics, programming strategies, and progression principles behind this deceptively simple movement that builds ankle stability, hip control, and unilateral force production. Whether you’re coaching young athletes or incorporating dynamic warm-up drills for elite performers, learn how to properly implement single leg hops to develop tendon resilience, reactive strength, and injury-resistant movement patterns.
