What are the methods of leg explosive training equipment?

The explosive power of the legs is what we need when we do various sports. However, due to the different physical fitness of each person, the explosive power displayed is also different. If we have poor leg explosive power, we can improve it through various exercises in normal times. There are many methods, and it can usually be done through training equipment. So, what are the methods of leg explosive power training equipment? Let’s take a look at it together.

1. Running in place - carrying a barbell on your shoulders

The weight of the barbell should be 40% to 50% of the maximum weight you can bear. When running, lift your thighs as high as possible so that the thighs are perpendicular to the torso, forming a 90-degree angle. The number of repetitions is 15 to 20 times.

2. Supported alternating leg jumps - holding dumbbells or shouldering a barbell

Don't use a barbell that is too heavy. Choose a 30-cm-high step, put one leg on top and the other leg on the bottom. When you support yourself and jump, stretch the upper leg up to the maximum extent possible, stay for a few seconds, and then switch to the other leg. Repeat 10 to 15 times.

3. Straight-leg jump - with barbell on shoulders

The weight of the barbell is 40% of the maximum weight you can bear. Stretch your legs as straight as possible, extend your ankles, and jump straight up and down as fast and high as you can. The number of repetitions is 15 to 20 times.

4. Half squat jump - shoulder barbell

The weight of the barbell is 50% of the maximum weight you can bear. When doing half squat jumps, bend your knees close to 90 degrees and repeat 8 to 10 times.

5. Single-leg hop - holding dumbbells and doing single-leg hops of 25 to 30 meters

When jumping, fold your thighs and calves as much as possible, and perform a "grabbing the ground" motion the moment you land.

6. Depth jump exercise

What is depth jump? As the name suggests, it refers to the process of jumping down from a high place and then jumping up to another high place (either with both legs or with one leg). For example, jumping off a box and then back on, or jumping over hurdles in succession.

In addition, when performing the following exercises, pay attention to jumping quickly after landing. Regardless of whether you land on both feet or on one foot, you must be flexible and perform a "digging the ground" action.

The above is an introduction to the methods of leg explosive power training equipment. When conducting training in daily life, we must pay attention to targeted training, especially choosing appropriate training methods according to our physical conditions. When conducting training, there must be a gradual process and physical injuries must not occur.
