Jumping from 40" or w/e would be depth drops, or altitude drops like luke calls them. That's a depth jump, without the jump. You land, and hold the position for a second or two, and then do the next rep. Depth jumps should not be that much. IMO up to 24" for depth jumps is good. ( as the max, beginners should start at 12", intermediate at 18")
It is important to fully land the drop though. ( land in a quarter squat position with your heels not touching the ground, shouldn't be on your toes exactly.) Don't just drop and jump up without the right landing.
