Single Leg Line Hops
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute demonstrates Single Leg Line Hops (Side-to-Side) – a reactive single-leg plyometric drill that uses a simple line on the ground to develop quickness, lower-leg stiffness, and unilateral stability.
🔥 Potential Benefits:
- ✅ Develops lower-leg reactivity and rapid ground contacts
- ✅ Strengthens calves, ankles, feet, and surrounding stabilizers
- ✅ Improves single-leg balance, coordination, and control
- ✅ Minimal setup – any visible line works
- ✅ Highly scalable (slower tempo for beginners, max speed for advanced)
