Before we can address how to enhance your vertical jump, we need to know what causes a vertical jump, so we’re going back to the fundamentals, what cause the leg or calves to have the explosives motion?  It’s the muscle of course!  Muscle fibers contract and expand to create the motion in our limbs and joints. 

Vertical jumping is an explosive movement in the human body.  Through correct coordination between the legs, core muscle and arms, one can achieve a some height when executing a vertical jump.  The best, safest and quickest way to improve your vertical jump is to work on the muscle group that’s needed for a vertical jump.  Considering the jumping motion, you will need your arms to swing fast and hard, your back and stomach muscle to hold your posture and your legs to leap off the ground.  We can see that those muscle needed for a good vertical jump are the calves, quads and hamstring for the leg.  Back and belly muscles for the body and shoulders muscle for a quick and powerful upward swing when executing a vertical jump.

Thus by reinforce and building up muscle are key to improving the vertical jump.  Hit the gymnasium, target the targeted muscle grouping.  Focus on buttress and building up fast-twitch muscle.  When expanding your muscle while you are carrying weights, do it in a quick and controlled manner, this is to reproduce the jumping motion.  Do not use a weight too heavy to oneself, you should be able to do 5-7 reps per set.  Do 2-3 sets, depending on the fatigue of your body.  Definitely have regular rest in between your exercise routines. 

Be safe while training, as wounds are never inspiring to any one, not mention athletes.  Vertical jumping has massive effect on the joints of the legs particularly when landing.  Ensure you have correct and comfy coaching shoes.  Proper warm-up is important to scale back the chances of an injury while coaching or executing a vertical jump.  Stop training when you are feeling agony in the joints, hunt for a doctor if the discomfort persist. 

Pace yourself while coaching, hear your body.  Do a trial jump 4 weeks after you start your training, with proper rest / recovery and training, you will be surprise how much have you improved!
