Continuous Broad Jump
How to Do It
Perform broad jumps one after another in a continuous, rhythmic chain — landing on both feet and immediately rebounding into the next forward jump with minimal pause. Use the arms to drive each jump and land softly enough to redirect the force forward. Keep the rhythm flowing and the projection horizontal. Continue for the prescribed reps.
Why It Works
Trains reactive horizontal power and the stretch-shortening cycle in the sagittal plane; chaining jumps with short ground contacts develops the elastic ability to absorb and immediately reproject force forward, building repeat horizontal power.
Hockey Transfer
Mirrors the repeated forward propulsion of skating acceleration — each landing must convert into the next driving push; trains the elastic, reactive horizontal force production behind successive accelerating strides.
Coaching Cues
- "Land and go, keep flowing"
- "drive the arms each jump"
- "project forward, short contacts"
Common Mistakes
Pausing or resetting between jumps; jumping up instead of out; heavy, collapsing landings
Progression / Regression
more reps or greater distance per jump
fewer jumps or a brief stick between each
