Benefits of squat jumps

Squats are a sport that is more suitable for women to exercise their buttocks in our lives. They can also improve elasticity and increase body resistance, so we should understand how to do squats. To do a squat, you need to keep your legs parallel, keep your lumbar spine upright, and finally squat slowly until your knees are parallel. You can practice squats in the normal way and understand the benefits of squats.

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.
