How to Jump Higher - Tips to Dunk a Basketball   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #7916 of 7928 |
Not being able to jump high can be a very frustrating thing for basketball
players. Everybody has the ability to jump very high, they just lack the
knowledge of how to train to increase their vertical leap. Here are some tips to
get you dunking a basketball in no time!
1. Muscle Memory! Your body has a great ability to adapt to what you
consistently do. This is true for jump training. Practice jumping often and your
body will naturally adapt to help you jump higher. You should never skip a day
of jump training. I'm not saying to exercise all day long everyday. Just work
out no less than 15 minutes a day. Just enough to not let your muscles forget!
2. Stretch! You must keep your muscles loose and relaxed at all times in order
to jump higher. Stretch every day when you wake up in the morning, and
immediately after your jump training every day. This will keep your muscles
"fresh" and they will be ready for jump training at any time.
3. Work You Core! Most athletes focus only on exercising their legs when they
are trying to gain inches to their vertical leap. Yes, this is important, but,
it is equally important to exercise your core. Do sit ups ad crunches daily to
help with your explosive power and you will gain a few inches over the people
just working their legs!
4. Sprint! Sprints are very important in developing muscle quickness. Quickness
is key to launching your body. You can be very strong, but if you don't have
"quick strength" then you are not going to gain any height to your jump.
