Explosive Jumping with Controlled Eccentric Landing

Include some form of jumping in weekly exercise to load the skeleton and likely stimulate osteocalcin-related brain benefits, especially jumping where you control the eccentric or landing portion. Examples include jump rope, high-knees jump rope, double unders, box jumps, and jumping on or off boxes. Progress slowly and safely because eccentric work increases soreness and injury risk. This work can be added at the end of a run, zone 2 day, or HIIT day.
