Vertical Jump Training
Looking for a vertical jump training program that will teach you how to jump higher to dunk?
Lets take a look at a few things that you will need to focus on in order to learn how to jump higher in basketball, volleyball or any other sport. The key is to not over train! That is really the hardest thing for everyone to follow when they are super motivated to get results. Kids think that the more they train the higher they will jump. This is not true, because it is actually when your muscles are resting after an intense workout that you are getting stronger. The muscle needs time to recover after you tear it to pieces by jump training. So if you are sore, that means that you should not be working out, you need to just listen to what your body is telling you and take it easy until you are not sore anymore. But not all soreness means that you are training the right way. You can go run 7 miles and your legs will get very sore if you aren’t used to running that much but does that mean that you will jump higher once your legs heal up? No! The type of training that gets your legs sore has to be done correctly and this is accomplished with a plyometric workout. Plyometrics workout your muscles in such a way that they learn to have a more in sync reaction time which results in more power. You can’t speed up the reflex reaction of your muscles, it’s just impossible to do and physiology doesn’t work that way. But you can teach more of your muscle fibers to fire at the same time and that is how you get that extra power that plyometric exercises are famous for producing.
