General And Specifics

Starting Position

  • the legs are shoulder width opened

Correct Execution

  • bend the legs as in a squat and tilt the upper body forwards
  • the thighs are parallel to the ground
  • look ahead and keep the chest up
  • as possible, the knees do not protrude the tiptoes to prevent injuries
  • push out the bottom
  • gain momentum with your arms and lift off the ground explosively
  • jump as high as you can
  • land on the leading part of your feet and roll down to the heels
  • go into the squat position again and jump again
