How to use this foot contact counter
Jump training is easier to compare by how often a foot hits the ground than by time or set count. List each drill with its sets and reps, and you get contacts per drill, the session total, a weekly total using your sessions per week, and each drill's share. A line written without commas, such as "Box jump 3 8", still works: the last two numbers are read as sets and reps.
One rep counts as one contact, and each drill is simply sets multiplied by reps. No weekly target is offered because no authoritative standard is published for plyometric contact volume, and nothing here is graded or scored for intensity. To compare weeks, enter last week's numbers and read the totals side by side (reviewed October 2026).
Plyometrics load the body with brief forces well above bodyweight at landing. Do not add height or deep drop jumps before your landing mechanics are solid, and avoid concrete and other unforgiving surfaces. If your knee, ankle or lower back hurts, or your knee collapses inward on landing, stop for the day rather than finishing the count, and see a clinician if the pain continues.
Frequently Asked Questions
This page gives no target. No authoritative weekly contact standard is published, so it only totals the numbers you enter.
One rep counts as one contact. If you prefer to count each landing, enter reps on that basis and the totals still line up.
No. Lines with commas are split into three fields, so a comma inside the name breaks parsing. Write it as "Box jump 3 8" instead.
