What are the benefits of squat jumps?

Standard action of squat jump: Starting position: Keep your body standing with your feet about one shoulder width apart, with your hands forward or your hands lightly supporting your ears, or your arms in front of your chest to maintain balance;

Action process:

1. Bend your knees and squat, squat back with your entire body until your buttocks are lower than your hip joints, and then use your legs to jump up quickly.​​
2. Quickly squat down after landing, and then quickly stand up; repeat training like this.

The benefits of squat jumps:

1. The squat jump comprehensively exercises the strength of the quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, buttocks and calves, and the efficiency is higher than pure bouncing exercises, so it is a must for professional track and field, basketball and volleyball players.
2. The squat jump helps to enhance the trainer’s explosive power (the ability to explode as much power as possible in the shortest time possible). The main points of explosive strength training are heavy weights, rapid force development, as much muscle synergy as possible, and good neuromodulation.
3. Squats and jumps efficiently use the quadriceps and buttocks muscles. After squatting, the stretching action can promote muscle growth (girls don’t have to worry about growing muscles, because women don’t have testosterone that is unique to men, so even if they gain muscle, they will not have too much muscle).
4. The correct squat jump position can strengthen your core muscles, as well as the deep trunk muscles. Muscles also follow the principle of “use it and lose it”. Your core muscles are strengthened through squat exercises. Even if you have to sit for a long time at work, you will reduce the low back pain caused by prolonged sitting.
