Get ready to do the Plyo Jump Fitness Challenge!
- January 8-21, 2023
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
- The participant stands to the side of a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to the wall.
- Keeping the feet flat on the ground, the point of the fingertips is measured. This is called the standing reach height.
- The participant then stands away from the wall, and leaps vertically as high as possible placing a piece of masking tape on the wall.
- The best of 3 attempts is recorded.
Scoring
= height of masking tape - standing reach height
Prizes
- A t-shirt will be given to the 1st place male and 1st place female competitor, at each campus.
- A $5.00 gift card to the bookstore/cafeteria will be awarded to a random participant (each participant's name will go in a hat), at each campus.
Open to students, staff, and community!
