How can increase my jump?

Question

Hey i m 5-10 and i play basketball a lot. The problem is that i don't jump high as i m suppose to be like i wanna improve my jumping skills soo next time if i am talking jump shot then i can jump high and at a good release. Think you can help me .

Answer 1

I would say to workout your legs muscle like calfs. Also remember to stretch.

Answer 2

try jump roping, and also run up stairs or bleachers, never letting your heel touch the ground so you put a lot of pressure on your calf.  another thing to remember is that your abs are just as involved in jumping as calves, so make sure you do crunches, and even try pull-ups

Answer 3

Answer 5

the best way to increase your vertical is to have consistent workout . u just have to get your legs in good shape. the workout doesn't have to be extreme. if u stay consistent with your effort u should notice a change in your vertical  

Answer 6

All kinds of leg workouts. Be ready to work your way through extreme soreness. Here's some things I've told my kids I coach to do

Box jumps

Leg lifts (put one leg on a bleacher and lift yourself up with it)

Calf raises (put your toes on an edge and move up and down)

That's all stuff you can do without weights. Don't be afraid to add weightlifting exercises on top of that.
