Movement Preparation: Continuous Jumps
• Athletes perform a continuous series of broad jumps (two footed)
• Start with feet shoulder-‐width apart and hips slightly flexed
• Bend at hips and knees, pull arms back
• Throw arms forward, extend hips and knees
• Look for explosive power in jump
• Pause between each jump at the start
• Shorten pauses until continuous jumps are possible
PROGRESSION: When continuous jumps are possible, ask for increased distance per jump rather than asking for faster jumps.
