Korfballexercise: calves (jumping power)

Suitable for the following techniques: strength

Calves (jumping power)

  • Stand with the front of your feet on an elevation (such as a step) and lower your heels as far as possible so your calves are properly stretched.
  • Now slowly stand on your toes. All the weight is now resting on your toes and you can feel your calves contracting.
  • Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
  • Doing this exercise slowly will work your muscles more effectively--you won't get the same effect by jumping up and down at a fast pace.
  • Check yourself by keeping track of time; each repetition should last no less than 6 seconds total.
  • Repeat this exercise as many times as you can. Twenty reps is fine to start with.
