You should be very careful with the vertical jump information you read on the internet. There is so much spam info about leap training being written and published on the internet today. If you really want to effectively increase your vertical leap, then it is vital that you get a professional vertical jump training system which can do the work for you.

Leap training is not supposed to be a very hard thing and could be done by anyone. But designing a personal system which can really work for you could be a hard thing to do. That is why it is excellent to use a Jump Training Program so you know you are learning from the professionals in the field. Moreover, having a professional coach has always been better than trying to coach yourself.

If you want to get an effective jumping program which can really work for you then you should check out Jacob Hiller’s Jump Manual. This is no doubt the most comprehensive jumping system you can find on the internet today, and has already proven its worth to be one of the best jump programs ever made.

Increase Your Vertical Jump and Dunk That Basketball is a post from: Vertical Jumping Programs

1. Weight Lifting and Plyometric Exercises

You can increase vertical explosion with plyometric exercises.  Plyometrics helps develop quick muscle fibers needed to improve vertical by training your muscles to explode quickly.  Over time, plyometric training increases the amount of force you can produce and therefore plyometrics are effective in making you more explosive. This leads to improved sports performance, a higher vertical jump, and quicker sprinting times.

To clear a myth up, plyometric exercises are not made for improving conditioning or endurance. They are specifically designed for improving reactive and explosive strength. Plyometric training offer a wide array of benefits ranging from improve vertical jump, improved sprinting speed, better explosiveness, improved ability to absorb force, and better agility.  Plyometrics are meant to be performed very quick, attempting to reach maximum and with long rest periods in between sets. Too often you see athletes trying to do 5 sets of 10 depth jumps with 1 minute of rest in between. This may help develop endurance, but not explosiveness, which is needed to increase your vertical or jump higher.

2.  Agility Drills, Intervals, and Sprints

One example of an exercise you can do is called dynamic step overs.  It is simply jumping over a object like a box or a bench.  The thought is to go from one side of the box to the other as quickly as possible. Start on the right side of the box and quickly step sideways to the left and on to the box. Jump off of the left foot and over to the left side leaving your right foot on the box. Quickly step up with the right leg and jump to the right side. Repeat side to side for 10 repetitions on each side. You need to quickly jump from one side to the other spending as small time on the ground as possible. As you get better and better, increase the height of the box to make it more intense.

Since working on muscle explosion is vital for increasing your vertical , sprints and interval are excellent exercises to do. When you sprint or run as quick as you can, your quick fiber muscles between the hamstrings, quads, and calves are stressed but also developing.  Those are the same muscles used to jump higher.

3. Decrease Your Body Weight

Excess weight does place more stress on your ankles and knees.  You will improve your vertical jump by simply reducing the overall stout deposit of your body.  This means you may have to change your diet, less "junk" food to healthy alternatives.  Basketball players are encouraged to have more muscle than stout  because it improves one's speed, reaction time, and agility on the court.  Common sense tells us it will also increase your jumping abilities.
