Plyo Jump: Fitness Challenge

Get ready to do a Plyo Jump Fitness Challenge!

• January 9-22, 2022

Plyo jumps are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power.
These are great for increasing overall strength and speed. 

Procedure

1. The participant stands to the side of a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to the wall.
2. Keeping the feet flat on the ground, the point of the fingertips is measured. This is called the standing reach height.
3. The participant then stands away from the wall, and leaps vertically as high as possible placing a piece of masking tape on the wall.
4. The best of 3 attempts is recorded.

Scoring

= height of masking tape - standing reach height
