Lateral Box Jump - Eskeno

Exercise

Lateral Box Jump

PlyometricExpert

A box jump taking off with both feet moving sideways onto an elevated box, rather than jumping straight forward and up.

Tips & instructions

Safety

Land with the knees tracking straight over the toes rather than caving inward, inward knee collapse on a lateral landing is a well-documented predictor of ACL injury and the main thing frontal-plane landing drills are meant to train out.

Progression

Most jump training happens in a straight line, this lateral pattern trains a movement direction that sports requiring side-to-side change of direction actually use.

Muscle groups

Primary: Vastus Lateralis, Glute Med

Secondary: Gastrocnemius

Equipment

Bodyweight
