Plyometric Boxes
Plyometric exercises involve quick explosive movements that are designed to increase speed and power. In simple terms, they involve a jumping movement like skipping, jumping, lunges, jump squats and clap push ups. This is where plyometric boxes come in!
A plyo exercise has three phases to it. The first is a rapid muscle lengthening movement called the eccentric phase, then there is the second phase which is a short resting period called the amortization phase followed by an explosive movement called the concentric phase. The point of plyometric exercise is to decrease the amount of time between the eccentric and concentric movements.
Plyo boxes and platforms
For the jumping exercises often involved in plyometrics a well-constructed platform can be essential. When buying a plyo jump box, look for a sturdy construction which supports you. Choose those with non-slip surfaces and rubber feet if you need stability.
Our collection features wooden plyo boxes to ensure integrity. You can also purchase a soft plyo box made from foam which absorbs some of the impact during a landing to protect your feet, ankles, knees and hips. Many of our foam plyo boxes are covered with non-skid vinyl.
When you are starting out, consider a stackable plyo box system as this allows you to start low and go higher. The stackable systems allow you to start as low as 8” and then build up to 30”.
