Seated Box Jump - Vertical Training Plyometrics Exercise
Exercise Overview
Seated box jumps are an advanced plyometric exercise used to develop explosive power of the hips, knees, and ankles from a static starting position. Clinically, they may be used in late-stage rehabilitation or return-to-sport training when the goal is to improve force production, landing mechanics, and lower-limb power symmetry.
