Let's combine some of our previous plyometric exercises and perform the depth jump into a hurdle jump. This is a true plyometric exercise and translates into a more dynamically explosive athlete on the pitch. Begin with standing on a step or play and step off as described in previous reels. Lay down on the ground with both feet and as soon as you fill the ground beneath you, use the arms to swing and jump over the hurdle. Let's have a look at the target muscles, gluteus maximus, quadricep femoris and the gastric stenemus. It's an athlete's ability to demonstrate how dynamically explosive their vertical jump capacity is. You can also regress this exercise by using a smaller hurdle or we can progress by using our highest step. This exercise will help you improve the explosive and reactive properties of your legs.
