This evercise is similar to the standard depth jump, but now in a lateral direction. This jump focuses on glute medius power and is used primarily in multi-directional motions and when changing directions (i.e. a running back making a cut to avoid a defender, or a shortstop taking first step to reach a ground ball. The Glute medius also supports the hips when running linearly to avoid hip motion in the frontal plane. Great exercise for advanced athletes training for baseball, football, basketball, and especially hockey.
