Have you ever tried to hop across the room, but ended up wobbling and falling over after just two bounces?
True hopping means you take off from one foot and land on that exact same foot with smooth balance.
So how do top athletes hop with huge height and never lose their balance?

The 3 Keys to Power

First, the Support Leg flexes and executes a powerful Takeoff Extension through the hip, knee, and ankle to push off the ball of the foot.
Execute a powerful knee lift by bending the drive leg at a 90∘90^\circ angle and swinging it upward in rhythm to generate vertical and horizontal lift.
At the same time, the support leg performs takeoff extension, flexing slightly before explosively straightening through the hip, knee, and ankle to push off the ball of the foot.
Simultaneously, an active Knee Lift on the free Drive Leg—bent at an approximate 90∘90^\circ angle—swings forward and upward to generate propulsion.
A synchronized forward and upward Arm Swing builds Biomechanical Momentum, counters rotational torque, and assists vertical lift.
Now that you are in the air, how do you come back down without hurting your joints?
