M.V.P. Vertical Jump Program

Flexibility is defined as the range of motion in a joint or series of joints. The flexibility drills in M.V.P will greatly increase the flexibility of your achilles, calves, hamstrings, and hip flexors will aid in increasing your vertical jump. Improving the range of motion you can take your joints through increases your potential to produce power. The more power you can produce, the higher you can jump.

The days of sitting on the ground and static stretching are over! In addition to improving flexibility, dynamic flexibility exercises assist in developing coordination and motor ability – both of which are attributes that help improve a player’s explosiveness.

flexibility exercises to increase vertical leaping ability

The Flexibility chapter contains 11 exercises that will increase your range of motion which will increase your vertical jump. Click here for a video preview.

Strength is the ability to produce force. The more force you can create against the ground, the higher you can jump. You must not only strength train your lower body, but must train your upper body as well. Your upper body plays a key role in how much force you can produce in your vertical jump.

Alan gives you the best 9 upper body exercises to do and the best 9 lower body to increase your vertical jumping ability. Vertical jump programs that only use natural body weight, will not allow you to develop additional force from your muscles. That means you will not be able to jump as high as you possibly could.

strength training to increase vertical jump

If you are going to unleash the M.V.P. in you, strength training your upper and lower body is a must.

Power is the ability to exert strength quickly and forcefully, which is the essence of jumping! The Power chapters include:

	Plyometrics
	Power Drills
	Progressive Dunks
	Box/Bleacher Jumps

The Progressive Dunks chapter shows you how to measure your progress through the program. Progressive dunks are fun and truly show your progress.

Plyometrics that increase your vertical jump

With a comprehensive program like M.V.P. you will train all the necessary components to jump as high as you possibly can.

When most people think of their “jumping muscles” they think of their legs and hips. However, your core (abs, low back, hip flexors) play a huge role in jumping. Your core is the center of every athletic movement! This core workout is unique because it's:

	Creative – The days of doing regular crunches are long gone; players want and need to be stimulated with new and innovative exercises.
	Uses auxiliary muscles – These exercises also work the muscles of the hands, forearms, and shoulders – which are injury prone areas.
	Uses a ball – Basketball players love to have a ball in their hands. By giving them a ball they actually like to work their core!
