What are the benefits of squat jumps

For adolescent boys and girls, regular squat jumps can help promote healthy bone development and thus help them grow taller. Therefore, younger people must seize the tail of youth to do squat jumps, and maybe they can grow taller. In addition, what other benefits does regular squat jumps have for the body?

Benefits of squat jumps

1. Improve jumping ability

If your goal is to lose fat, you might choose to do aerobics (such as insanity's 63-day fat-reducing exercises and Zheng Duoyan's Little Red Riding Hood). Aerobic exercises at medium to high intensity all require jumping movements. To achieve stronger jumping ability, you must practice squat jumps well. Squat jumps comprehensively develop the strength of the quadriceps, biceps, buttocks and calves, and are more efficient than pure jumping exercises. Therefore, they are a must-practice exercise for professional track and field, basketball, and volleyball athletes.

2. Improve athletic performance

Improving athletic performance means that squat jumps help enhance the trainee's explosive power (the ability to burst out as much force as possible in the shortest possible time). The key points of explosive power training are heavy weights, rapid force, coordinated use of as many muscles as possible, and good neural regulation ability. Many practitioners feel that squat jump training is particularly tiring, but it is this feeling that exercises good neural regulation ability. Squat jumps are the first choice for explosive power training.

3. Improve basal metabolic rate

Squat jumps efficiently utilize the quadriceps and gluteal muscles. Stretching movements after squats can promote muscle growth (girls don’t have to worry about growing muscles because women don’t have the testosterone unique to men, so even if they gain muscle, they won’t have too much muscle).

The presence of muscles helps the body consume fat, and with muscles your basal metabolism will be higher than others. To put it in a more vivid way, it is like you are sitting still with a person who doesn't do squats to exercise, and your body will consume more energy.

4. Improvement of overall coordination

Don't think that coordination is only used by those who dance or participate in competitive sports. The basic meaning of coordination is the ability to control the body. Simply put, people with better coordination are less likely to slip on icy roads because their muscles are more coordinated than the average person.

5. Prevent back pain

Proper squat jump form can strengthen your core muscles and the deep torso muscles. Muscles also follow the principle of "use it or lose it". Your core muscles are strengthened through squat exercises. Even if you have to sit for a long time at work, you will suffer less back pain caused by sitting for a long time than others.

Can squat jumps help you grow taller?

Doing a moderate amount of squat jumps every day during adolescence can help you grow taller, but doing squat jumps at other ages has no obvious effect.

1. Doing moderate squat jumps during adolescence can help you grow taller

Why our bodies grow. The most important reason is that the body secretes various hormones every moment. If you pay attention to the methods and ways of exercising during adolescence, you can grow taller to a great extent. This is because exercise stimulates the body to secrete more growth hormone.

2. Ensuring adequate sleep during adolescence helps grow taller

When people are awake, the secretion of growth hormone is less; after entering slow-wave sleep, the secretion of growth hormone increases significantly; and growth hormone is an important factor in promoting the development of human height. During adolescence, ensure about 8 hours of sleep a day. This will help the body secrete more growth hormone and promote height development.

Squat jump action essentials

Starting position: Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, hands forward or hands lightly on your ears, or arms across your chest to maintain balance.

Action process:

1. Bend your knees and squat, squat your whole body backwards until your buttocks are lower than your hip joints, use your legs to exert force and jump up quickly.

2. After landing, squat down quickly, and then stand up quickly; repeat the training.

Key points: Squat slowly (take a deep breath), stand up quickly (exhale); when the body is about to stand up straight, exhale suddenly and lift both heels consciously (with the front of the feet on the ground); the body seems to soar into the sky.
