Important Components to a Vertical Jump Program

Posted on October 28, 2010 by

Any player that wanted to improve on their vertical jump, as done it with a vertical jump program. This article will give you the necessary knowledge needed to create your own vertical jump program that is suited for you. Use the following program to have a program that has all the necessary components to make it a beneficial program.

1. Stretching

When doing any workout you must stretch out your whole body. If you fail to do any stretching before you exercise your muscles will tighten very quickly and they will become sore.

2. Have speed while you train

While doing the vertical jump program do the motions of the exercises at a quick pace. Doing the exercises quickly will teach your muscles to move faster during a basketball game.

Avoid doing the repetitions slowly, as your aim is not to become a body builder. What you want to do is to put as much force into your legs as possible. Every amount of force that you put in your legs when you push will get you even that much close to dunking during a game. If you aim is to increase your muscles and make the bigger, then this program isn’t right for you.

3. Strength

Using weights during your training session is so crucial. You will want to use the weights sooner rather than later. The percentage of how much weights you use will depend on how much force you want to apply to your legs. If you want speed in your legs then lowering the percentage of weights is the best way to go, and you want to do this with more repetitions.

Work out what percentage your maximum is going to be when doing the exercises. Alternating can be a good idea especially if you want to increase muscle build as well. Work your vertical program out, to what it is that you want to work on and do.

4. Quick Explosion

When doing weight training you need to explode. This means jumping as far as your body can go, in a very explosive way. This is like having a cannonball go out of a cannon. Doing this will help make your muscles move in a quick way you need this during a basketball game.

5. Effort
