Conseils techniques
One common mistake to avoid is using incorrect form. When performing the semi squat jump, make sure your back is straight and your knees do not go past your toes when you squat. This helps to prevent undue strain on your knees. During the run, maintain a steady pace and avoid overstriding which can lead to injury.
Start with a manageable number of repetitions and gradually increase as your strength and endurance improve. Trying to do too much too soon can lead to overuse injuries.
When landing from the squat jump, aim to land softly and quietly by bending your knees.
