Hip Flexion Landing Absorption
Hip flexion landing absorption hinges at the hips to soak impact on landings—balancing force reduction with readiness for reactive second jumps.
Hip flexion landing absorption uses a quick hip hinge—butt back, chest modestly forward—to soak impact on rebounds and downhill stops instead of locking knees. Excessive upright landings spike joint force; too much squat collapse slows reactive second jumps.
Drill with low drops and stick holds before sport-speed reps. Glute and hamstring strength support the pattern.
Common questions
-
Is a deep squat landing always safer?
Moderate hip flexion absorbs force; excessive depth slows reactive jumps and can stress knees if collapse replaces control—train the middle range.
