Basketball Depth Jump Progression
Basketball depth jump progression adds low-box reactive jumps after solid landings—low volume and conservative box height protect knees and Achilles.
Basketball depth jump progression steps athletes from low boxes—stick landing, then reactive vertical—only after landing mechanics and strength baselines are solid. Box height sets knee and Achilles stress; start twelve to eighteen inches, not gym-show extremes.
Few reps per set, full rest, stop when jump height drops. Not for early post-ACL return without clinician clearance.
Common questions
-
When are depth jumps appropriate for basketball players?
After months of strength, clean stick landings, and pain-free hopping—typically advanced off-season blocks, not mid-season when contacts are already high.
