Depth Drop Progression We use these to build eccentric strength, improve landing mechanics, and prepare for reactive movements We progress to depth drops to vertical jumps and a hurdle jump progression. | Overtime Athletes

⚡️ DEPTH DROP TRIPLE HURDLE JUMP ⚡️ This advanced plyometric drill challenges explosiveness, coordination, and reactive strength all at once. By stepping off the box and immediately reacting into three consecutive hurdle jumps, athletes train their body to absorb force quickly and produce even more on the next jump. 💥 Benefits: ✅ Improves landing mechanics and power output ✅ Builds fast-twitch muscle activation for explosive movements ✅ Enhances rhythm, timing, and control under fatigue 🏃‍♂️ W

🦘 After a hamstring injury, the drop jump is a great test to measure limb asymmetries and reactive strength index (RSI).⁠ ⁠ 🤓 RSI = jump height / ground contact time and is a measure of reactive jump capacity.⁠ ⁠ ☕️ For less than the cost of a weekly coffee, unlock unlimited access to hands-on tutorials⁠ with Practicals 🔗 https://www.physio-network.com/practicals/ 🤝 You'll get instant access to this Assessment of Hamstring Injuries Practical with Scott Hulm plus our growing library of Practi

1. Drop Jumps Drop jumps train your nervous system to react instantly when landing, teaching your body to absorb force and then explode upward with maximum speed. They improve rate of force development, making you more reactive and explosive in sprints and jumps. 2. Reflexive Split Squat Jumps These build unilateral power and coordination by forcing each leg to produce explosive force independently. They enhance balance, hip extension, and rapid ground contact for faster directional changes and
