The Methodology of Jumping into Plyometrics
Vertical plyometric exercises are all about power and strength. The act of crouching quickly and then pushing off powerfully from the crouched position, while stretching up increases the number of inches a person can jump. By doing plyometric exercises, you can strengthen and prime the muscles to gain more vertical inches. Every week, you will see your vertical jump increase.The focus is on the lower body, from the thighs all the way down to the toes. The thigh muscles provide control. The calf muscles provide the speed and power and the toes provide the final push.
The training involves more than muscle work. It is also a fantastic cardiovascular workout that includes jumping up from squatting and speed jump roping.
