Box Jump (Multiple Response) Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.

- Using the arms to aid in the initial burst, jump upward and forward, landing with feet simultaneously on top of the box or platform.
- Immediately drop or jump back down to the original starting place; then repeat the sequence.
