YOGYAKARTA - High jumps are needed for various athletics and team sports such as basketball and volleyball. The ability to jump is one of the factors that support the performance of a player. So how about physical exercise so that the jump is high?

Jumping movements require the strength of the leg muscles and the bending power of the lower body. The stronger the resistance or foot thrust accompanied by a good body balance, the higher the jump. The ability to jump can be trained and developed in several ways.

High jumps are not built-in abilities. Everyone can have the ability to jump by doing regular training. Here are a number of physical exercises to make high jumps.

One of the exercises that can improve high jump skills is a squat jump. This exercise is done by moving the jump from half squatting position. This movement can increase the strength of the leg muscles.

How to do a squat jump is very easy. Take the position of the body standing with your feet open wide enough. Then place your hands behind your head and half squat until your knees bend. Then jump and land in the squatting position as before.

Burpee can also help increase the jump to a higher level. Burpee is done face down on the ground, such as push up and then get up and stand up. How to do the burpee movement is very easy.

First, bend your knees like a squat position. Place both hands on the floor. Then throw your legs back until you are in a push up position. Then lower your chest to the floor. Jump again to the position of the squat and stand back.

Other exercises that can improve jump capabilities are jumping jacks. Jumping jacks are included in the category of plyometric movement or exercise with strong and fast muscle contractions.

How to jump jacks is quite easy, namely by taking a standing position and opening both legs as wide as the waist. Both hands are straight next to the body. Then jump and both legs are opened wider. At the moment of jumping, remove both hands above your head until they almost come into contact. Do this move repeatedly.

Those are some physical exercises for high jumps. To get maximum and fast results, you need to do regular and consistent training.
