Açıklama
The Tuck Jump is a high-intensity plyometric cardio exercise where you jump explosively vertically while pulling both knees toward your chest. The movement simultaneously challenges lower body explosive power, heart rate, and core stabilization. The quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core muscles are heavily engaged, while full-body coordination is improved through arm swing. Requiring low technical skill and no equipment, it is a staple in HIIT, MetCon, athletic performance, and calisthenics workouts. When performed regularly, it provides significant improvements in explosive power, vertical jump height, cardiovascular conditioning, and metabolic capacity. Because it is a high-impact movement, landing control and joint health are of critical importance.
