HIIT Exercise - Prisoner Jump Squats
Exercise Overview
Prisoner jump squats are an advanced plyometric exercise that strengthen the quadriceps, gluteals, and calf muscles while training explosive lower-body power. Clinically, they may be used in later-stage rehabilitation or performance training to improve force production, landing mechanics, and dynamic lower-extremity control.
