If you play basketball for passion, or professionally, then listen up. In this article, I’m going to show you exactly how you can jump higher in basketball. Increasing your vertical leap gives you better chances of grabbing rebounds, blocking opponent’s shots, etc.
First, and probably the easiest thing I can recommend you is to jump ropes. Make sure your toes are pointed. It’s the best way to strengthen your calf muscles. Other than that, practice walking on your tiptoes back and forth daily for a few minutes.
Work on plyometric exercises. Practice lifts. Visualize yourself jumping higher. Visualizing works amazingly well, if done correctly. Strengthen your muscles by lifting heavier weights. That way, you’ll exercise your muscles against resistance and that will help you jump higher.
Finally, take some professional advice. There are lot of programs that can help you. Go through some recommended sources and practice what they say.
