other than skate

Answer 1

i skate and i jump rope to get better at jumping, but jump rope wont really add height. you should look into plyometrics  it is basically jump training.

jumping onto and off of high object and doing certain things in the jump. plyometrics is design to add power, strength, and height.

there is a difference between power and strenght if u dont already know

strength is how much force u can use and how well ur mussles work together

and power is how fast u can use that force, excatly what u need for jumps since a jump if just an instant of force excerted through ur legs as quickly as possible. and there are 100s of exercises you can do.

heres a quick video of a very basic one

notice how high that dude is jumping

its that same training that people use to get 5ft+ high vertical jumps, through simple but high intensity workouts

Answer 2

what i did to jump higher and ollie higher was jump rope,its a great exercise and it build the muscles you use when you jump and it really does help your jumps and it doesnt take alot of time per day to do,if you just get 15 minutes a day thats plenty
