How can I jump higher? A young sport enthusiast may ask. This is but a common
dilemma for everyone.
In order for you to jump higher, you will need to develop four distinct areas
which are interconnected in some ways.
1. Flexibility - In a joint and/or series of joints, flexibility is the maximum
motion. This is one of the key points that need to be developed especially on
areas that are involved in jumping namely - Achilles, calves, hamstrings and
flexors of the hip. By improving your range of motion on these areas, you are
increasing your potential to produce power.
2. Strength - Increasing the strength of your legs and hips will aid you
automatically in producing flexibility thereby increasing the force you can
exert to jump higher. It should be noted however that you are maintaining
precautionary measures while you are adapting strength training for maximum
potential.
3. Power - Once you have developed flexibility and strength, you can now have
access to your full power reserves in order to be able to jump higher. Gone are
the inane questions of "how can I jump higher?" Usually, power is developed by
means of pylometric exercises to facilitate explosive movements which would be
one of the great tools to achieve higher jumps.
4. Core - Improving your "jumping muscles" namely legs and hips is not enough.
You need to develop your "core" - abs and low back - which play a very important
role in jumping. To be able to maximize your true jumping potential, you will
need a strong core. It follows that when you have strong core, you will also be
able to attain desirable results in jumping higher.
So how can I jump higher? A young man asked. The answer is patience, endurance
and practice. Your decision to achieve the goal of jumping higher is already the
first step on the ladder. In fact, it is in itself considered a big "leap."
Not many words are required to show that you could actually jump higher in
proven steps that people oftentimes pass at. Do not make the same mistake and
miss out a very good occasion to unravel the mystery of increased vertical
leaps.
