Long Response Hops

Long Response Hops

Bounds can be either long or short response. Short response bounds are performed quickly, one after the other. Long Response Bounds are performed in the same fashion as Short Response Bounds. The difference is noted in the loading time between jumps. Long Response Jumps allow for more controlled eccentric loading between jumps.

Alternate Leg Bounds	Medium	Horizontal with a Vertical component	Begin with one foot slightly ahead of the other, using a rocker step to push off the front leg and drive the knee up and out.

Take off with the right leg, land on the right leg, take off on the right leg, land on the left leg, take off on the left leg, land on the right leg, and repeat in this fashion	10 reps per leg
