Plyometrics Training Explained to Improve Vertical Jump For Vertical Jump Training


This article is about understanding plyometrics and how to use the technology of plyometrics to improve your vertical jump and your quickness. Most people are doing plyometrics incorrectly. Why is it that they don't understand the correct way to do it?

First, it's not easy to understand. If you go out and do research, you're going to run up into a lot of jargon and a lot of difficult-to-understand language-it's going to make it hard for you to understand how to correctly implement plyometric training. Above that, research is still being done to understand the effects of plyometric exercises. However, aside from all of that, I really don't understand why ninety-seven percent of people out there are doing this incorrectly.

Plyometrics Training

One thing is certain: plyometrics will dramatically increase your explosion potential, and your vertical jump, and your quickness. One thing's also sure is that research has proven that plyos mixed with resistance training produces optimal results. So either technique isolated-plyos or resistance slash weight training-is not going to be near as effective as they will be combined. So, plyos done incorrectly will not yield good results; but together, this complex training is the best possible results your training can produce.

The point of this is to have a clear idea of how to improve your vertical jump training. Now, if you'll notice, when your calf and your thigh, when it all extends-when your skeletal system extends-that's when you're going to be exploding upwards. That's what makes you jump. Here's what you need to know about your muscles and your bones. Your muscles are not rubber bands; but your muscles do have elastic qualities. So, bones are like simple levers, and your muscles can briefly store elasticity. So notice here-imagine that is a rubber band-when that shortens, your foot is driven downwards, and you explode upwards.

Time to talk about muscle loading and exploding. When the calf muscle shortens, the anterior tibialis is going to lengthen and vice versa. You load the muscle-when the toe is pointed upwards-this muscle is stretched and lengthened, and there's elastic tension there. Now, when you contract this muscle or shorten it, and it points the toe downwards, and there's a snap back, and the elastic quality is used. This load-and-explode process is not only taking place in the calf and foot, it's taking place all over the body. And so correct plyometrics use this load-and-explode process to maximize the effect of the technique.
