Hurdle Hops are a great way to practice your Jumping & Landing and ensure you have safe mechanics, which can mean a decreased likelihood of injury.
You also give yourself an increased opportunity for improved performance not only through increased efficiency of movement, but also the physiological adaptions that come with Jumping & Landing training.
The ability to take off safely will often mean an increased likelihood of landing safely, so whilst we all want to jump as high as we possibly can it is also critical that you are not compromising your safety in doing so – this becomes even more critical when taking off on one leg.
So much of sport is played moving from one leg to the other, so safe Single Leg Takeoff’s / Landings and a capacity to absorb varying degrees of force on one leg is critical.
