Hey,

so I am not the expert here, but I can tell how my Evoke coach has me using box-steps: Box-steps, 2 legged jumps, single leg jump lunges and single leg lunges fit into the Muscular Endurance.(ME) category, which is different that the Aerobic conditioning category.  Aerobic conditioning which is generally classified by the Z1 – Z4 zones as well as AeT, LT, etc is a bit different than working on generating prolonged explosive power( ME).  So as a prescription for ADS or base aerobic conditioning, I don’t think that’s where box-steps and jumps fit in.  Box Steps can be an important part of training, but probably not part of aerobic training.
