Basics Of Vertical Jump Training

To increase your vertical leap and jump higher you don`t have to do know some underground secrets. Good vertical jump is achievable for most athletes you just must know the right training principles. Know the basics of vertical leap! Image credit: verticaljumpsecret.blogspot.com To jump higher you must generate more force than your body weight, logical? The more force you can generate in very short period of time the higher you will jump. However not all jumping power comes from your legs. When you jump up the whole body is involved. Also your upper body is very very important so I believe that you`ll need to train your upper body and your lower body. Some older online vertical jump programs use very high volume repetitions and that’s not right. Don’t use any vertical jump program where is more repetitions than 15.

To improve your explosion you must do less repetitions with more loads. When doing plyometrics use also small number of repetitions. To do so perform your plyo exercises with maximum intensity. That’s the main point in vertical … Continue reading

Supercompensation of vertical jump training

Vertical jump training tactics carry an important mission of attuning subsequental training outputs. The microcycle of vertical jump or any other training is based on a rule, that time of recreation isn’t sufficient, therefore creating a summation of effects of two or more training courses, resulting in bigger supercompensation. One option is like this: duration of the microcycle is one week, with scheme 5+1. In terms of gaining more from vertical jump training, the order of exercises is very important. You should start with exercises, that use large muscular groups and proceed, step by step, towards training smaller muscles. Starting with smaller muscles will stress them out, before large muscles gain enough output. Many small muscles are in work while training bigger muscular groups, therefore acting as a kind of helpers.   The other important thing is the number of sets.
