Existing guide · editorial review pending. Clinical review is pending.
3 to 4 sets of 5 to 8 jumps with full rest between sets, landing quietly on every rep.
The landing is the risk: tired, loud landings with the knees caving inward load the knee joints badly. It is the wrong starting point for irritable knees or a long layoff from impact.
