TIPS ON HOW TO JUMP HIGHER

How to jump higher in basketball is practically every basketball aficionado’s ambition. This is probably one of the foremost of thoughts among players of the game today, but for sure it is a tricky one to address. As players naturally come in different sizes, skills, talent and condition, the kind of training program used will bring different kinds of results.

If by chance you are one of the few seasoned athlete’s already playing sports on a regular basis, or has been doing some sort of sports conditioning, then you will have a greater chance of success compared to someone who is not. You should be able to do the basic training exercises for jumping higher at an optimal level from start to end.

Since jumping mostly uses the leg muscles, then the basic exercises should be focused there. The exercises should be done at least 3-4 times a week maximum each so as not to overload yourself, but just enough to train your body to the fullest extent possible.

Here is a  great tip on how to jump higher: Jogging and jumping rope is a good way to strengthen your leg, hip, and core muscles. You can jog on a flat, uphill, or downhill surface with a steady pace at the start, and then gradually increase the intensity and duration as you get better. Jumping rope taxes your entire body, particularly your legs, as this exercise method requires balance, coordination and endurance to maintain a good form.

Another tip to strengthen the muscles of the feet and shins is the feet flex wherein you point your toes towards your shins while seated on a chair (with or without the use of dumbbells). Or you can use a wide rubber band placed on the balls of your feet (to add tension) with one leg straight while holding both ends of the band and then pointing them forward.

Squats with or without weights is another way to strengthen your upper leg and hip muscles. A body squat called the prisoner squat can be done while standing with legs shoulder width apart and placing your fingers around the back of your head. With eyes looking straight ahead bend your knees until parallel to the floor and rise back up in an explosive manner, and repeat as needed. Again this can be done with the assistance of weights and/or sturdy rubber tubing.

These are just but a few of the basic of many types of exercises for aiding one who wants to jump higher for basketball, and, with the advent of many more specialized programs available today, realizing your goals is not that far off as you may think.
