Plyometric Training [5 ]

Here the jumper is executing the DROP DOWN REBOUND with a dynamic 'vertical impulse' over a hurdle. The hurdle height is determined by age and experience.
Remember, the jumper has to REACT QUICKLY on touchdown and drive up and use the stored elastic energy IMMEDIATELY. Ensure that the landing after the hurdle clearance is firm and balanced. There should be no excessive drop of the hips.
A progression would be to place several hurdles in front of the platform.

The second drill being demonsrated is the DROP DOWN REBOUND followed IMMEDIATELY with a Standing Long Jump for distance. The main aim is to react immediately on touchdown and to DRIVE horizontally upwards and forwards. I tend to measure some of the repetitions from the toe to heel.

Hi there, Depth Jumping is the generic term for a specific type of plyometric training. In this film clip the jumper is performing a 'depth jump type exercise' but it's called a drop down rebound,

All the best, Nigel
