How do you improve in your jump?



how can you improve your jump for volleyball?

Hello,

After playing indoor volleyball and a pro on the beach - I can give a few tips.

1. start off by getting your quick twitch muscle fiber going. Jump rope is the best for this!

2. Once you have gained some strength, start jumping up and back down a wooden box. When you perform this - you want to land as softly as possible. This way you are not hurting your muscles but instead, teaching them to handle the pressure - jumping and landing creates.

3. Once you have master Polymeric Box Jumping - you can move to the weights. Start with the Olympic weight lifting bar and start doing "Power Lifts" and "Clean and Jerks" these can be performed correctly by asking a trained professional trainer.

4. The last training I would perform is working with a weighted cow bell - by lifting with your arms out in from of you in a squatting position ( see source URL )

That is it - you will be jumping higher in no time! Source(s): http://volleyrocket.com/viewvideo.php?vi...
squats, stretching and practice
practice makes perfect
Look into Plyometrics-- that will help you jump higher, run faster, and gain strength.
calf raises and lunges are what they will have you do in professional sports, they are the only exercises that can really increase your jumping power. good luck.
Jumping rope, Running sprints ( a lot of sprints) and jumping.

Set a mark and try to touch it after you have touched set one higher. Keep doing for about 6 weeks you will see big results. You have to rest thought do not go 99mph everyday give your body a chance to rest.
