The necessity to not only jump, but then get high enough and pull the legs into the body can be extremely taxing. Tuck jumps demand high amounts of energy when performed.
The tuck jump can be widely used across many settings and can even be included during warm ups, on its own, or in post activation potentiation supersets as well. Tuck jumps are an advanced progression upon a widely used movement, the squat jump, that can challenge lifters and athletes to produce higher amounts of power to gain vertical displacement. Plyometrics have been shown to increase rate of muscle contraction, increase power outputs, enhance muscle performance in ballistic movements, and ultimately increase athletic performance (specifically power).
In this article we will discuss the five benefits coaches and athletes can expect to gain from programming and performing tuck jumps within training sessions.īelow are five benefits of the tuck jump, many of which as inherent to lower body plyometrics. In an earlier article we discussed the tuck jump, a plyometric bodyweight exercise that can be used to increase power output, increase caloric/energy expenditure in circuits, and increase athleticism.
