As you are doing right now, I spent a lot of years of my life searching for the best
vertical jump training program on the internet.
Due to this, I wanted to reference a few parts of
my vertical jump training eBook, and explain why the back squat is really only necessary for those people -LSB-...]

America's favorite pasttimes and popular team sports have been kind enough to bestow upon endurance athletes their secret
training plans and top exercises for producing bulging biceps, a massive chest, sky - high
vertical jumps and thunder thighs.
For the most part, these are
vertical jumps with and without countermovement, performed with light medicine balls or weighted vests and adapted as needed to address specific skills involved in throwing mechanics (special strength
training).
However, the ratio between general and strength
training exercises should progressively move from a 3:1 ratio during GPP to a 1:3 ratio during the season with more emphasis on those special strength
training movements such as snatch, power snacth,
vertical jump, and medicine ball throws that can develop «strength in the presence oif speed ``, the paradigm of strength
training for sports.
Youth fitness
training is rapidly becoming a popular segment of the fitness industry, and the services go beyond
training soccer skills and
vertical jumps.
Running speed,
vertical jump, throwing speed and are just some of the athletic components which have improved after strength increases due to resistance
training.
An example of «
jump training» would be performing box
jumps or a single
vertical jump.
Athletic skills and movement requirements like running speed,
vertical jump capability, and throwing speed are just some of the athletic components that will improve after the application of general strength
training.
Exploring the effects of a 6 - week period of weightlifting derivative
training on
vertical jump height, Otto et al. (2012) found that countermovement
vertical jump height was improved as a result of the
training, although the improvements were similar to those produced by kettlebell
training.
Training with weightlifting derivatives improves weightlifting derivative performance, lower body strength (as measured by 1RM squat and force production), peak power output, and
vertical jump height.
Carrying out a purely observational study, Siahkouhian & Kordi (2010) failed to note any effect of a single week of double volume
training, while Storey et al. (2015) noted temporary reductions in
vertical jump height and snatch performance, but not in clean and jerk performance, as a result of a similar, single week of very high volume
training.
This is similar to the idea that using gains in force production achieved in
training in
vertical jumping requires practice in
vertical jumping once the strength has been gained (Bobbert & Van Soest, 1994).
Haug et al. (2015a) also reported gains in
vertical jump height following a hang clean
training program in a small group of elite athletes.
Olympic weightlifting
training improves snatch and clean and jerk performance, lower body strength (as measured by 1RM squat and isometric force), lower body power output, short distance sprint running ability,
vertical jump height, and maximum aerobic capacity (as measured by VO2 - max).
Tricoli et al. (2005) compared the effects of a resistance
training program combined with either Olympic weightlifting (and weightlifting derivatives) or
vertical jumping.
I wanted to get my
vertical jump higher, so I was
training to do that at one point.
If I had not created my own system to
train the
vertical jump, I would have never become a professional basketball player.
There are also plenty of
vertical jump programs and 40 - yard dash workouts that will deliver good results for those who haven't done much serious
training.
Although they used plyometrics and not strength exercises, Dello Iacono al. (2016) compared the effects of
training with
vertical or horizontal drop
jumps on 10m sprint time.
Smith machine squat
training improves
vertical jump height and sprint running ability (De Hoyo et al. 2015b).
In one very interesting study into plyometrics, Loturco et al. (2015) compared the effects of
training with either
vertical or horizontal
jumps.
Force - vector specificity was observed, as axial exercise
training improved
vertical jumping performances by more than anteroposterior exercise
training, while anteroposterior exercise
training improved short distance sprinting performances by more than axial exercise
training.
