What makes a good jumping workout that will help to increase your vertical jump height? There are key things that each basketball or volleyball player must do that will in some cases dramatically increase jumping skills. Listed below are some of those key points.
1. Muscle strength is at the top of the list because it is strong muscles that will help propel you off the floor. The upper thighs are the number one muscles followed by the hips and calves. Lift weights to get stronger, do squats for the thighs.
2. Next would be the endurance and explosive power. You would get your explosive power from doing plyometrics and endurance from doing short distance sprints.
3. Flexibility would also be important. Being flexible would help increase your range of motion in your joints.
4. Develop some endurance so you tire less during the game. When you start to get tired you may not have the ability to jump at your potential. Playing your sport will help your endurance but you can enhance it by jogging or jumping rope.
5. To put this all together find yourself a good vertical jump program to follow that will guide you through the process of training to jump higher. You do not want to waste your time doing things incorrectly or in the wrong sequence.
Keep in mind that every individual is different; some may be able to gain great height while others may not be able to get very high off the floor no matter how hard they train. There are always those who seem to be able to get higher off the ground. Train hard and keep a positive attitude.
