Vertical Exercises To Increase Your Jump Height
Vertical Exercises To Increase Your Jump Height. Here are some vertical exercises and advice to increase jump height:
Nutrition:
Like all sports activities you need to have the right diet. Drink plenty of natural water and continue to take in carbohydrates. Your body needs the opportunity to repair itself after going through the workouts and needs the right food constituents to do this quickly. Without these foundations your vertical exercises will be wasted
The Workout:
Workout, including all the vertical exercises below, is important and should be completed every other day whilst testing your jumping on your rest days.
Stretching:
Stretching is very important and should be done after every warm up and before any vertical excercises. This will help avoid training injuries. Stretch your quads by putting one hand on the pole and pulling your leg up behind you . You should feel this stretch between in your thigh, on the top of your upper leg. Next, lay flat on your back and, from the knee, pull one leg to your chest, repeat with the opposite leg. This stretches the lower back muscles and sinews.
Body Fat:
Body fat ratio is important, so concentrate on building muscle and running to reduce weight if you are overweight. Also other aerobic exercises will help.
Vertical Exercises:
(1)Start on a plyometric weight program at your gym. Plyometrics are simulated sports movements with additional weights or other resistance. Concentrate on simulating jumping movements with weights in your hands. Use your maximum effort for every vertical exercise jump to ensure you build the correct muscle type for ‘explosive’ power.
(2)Follow a regular program of vertical exercises in front of the basket ball hoop, working in sets of 10 jumps. First jumping to touch the net with a running jump. Then try touching the backboard. When you have achieved this set the rim as your goal. Consistent, steady training will produce results and you will see gradual vertical height improvement.
(3)Start a program of wind sprints. Mark out a track and then sprint for 50 meters, walk for 10 meters. Do this continuously five times.
(4)When you can jump to the rim practised dunking small objects, like golf or table tennis balls. Keep working your way up dunking slightly larger and larger balls, like volley balls, soccer balls and culminating in a basket ball.
(5)Good jump rope sessions at least 3 times a week to build your aerobic fitness.
The rest is just dedication. Follow the vertical exercises above, keep focus and keep on keeping on and you will see improvement.
