Here is a great exercise that is probably new to you. I would prefer to see the athlete in the video rise from the squat position after the jump, but this is being picky. The main benefits of the exercise are derived from exploding from the kneeling position and then quickly flexing the hip, knee and ankle joints in order to land in the squat position.
This exercise is similar to the olympic lifting exercises in that it requires forceful extension immediately followed by rapid flexion of the lower limb. The main difference is that, whilst the olympic lifts involve full triple extension (of the hip, knee and ankle), the kneeling jump emphasises hip extension.
