Because you are constantly on your toes and making vertical jumps, the calf muscles are used a great deal in jumping. It also uses the quadriceps (front of the thighs), hamstrings (back of thighs) and glutes (buttocks) for power and strength. Adding in different moves where you travel forward, backward or side-to-side as you jump, will also engage the smaller stabilizer muscles in your lower body.
