Front Cone Hops (Or Hurdle Hops) FAQ
What muscles does Front Cone Hops (or Hurdle Hops) work?
Front cone hops primarily target the quadriceps through rapid knee extension, with the glutes and calves contributing to hip and ankle extension. The hamstrings act eccentrically to decelerate the limb during landing and the movement relies on fast stretch-shortening cycle mechanics (triple extension) for power output.
