6 Super Effective Jumpsole Exercises

Do you have the right tools to improve your vertical leap? As with any other type of athletic conditioning, you need the right equipment to achieve the best results. This is the same with basketball conditioning as well.

Enter the jumpsole. No, this isn`t a new line of sneakers from a major basketball shoe producer. They`re training equipment that you wear over your basketball sneakers. The objective is to increase the strength of your leg, and thus boost your running and leaping skills. Here are some effective exercises that can quickly strengthen your leg muscles and thus add several inches to your vertical leap:

1. Burnouts

This is a jumpsole exercise that will definitely help to boost your perpendicular leap. Rise as high as possible while standing on your tiptoes. Then as rapidly as possible, jump continually a maximum of half to one inch off the ground. To provide your calf muscles with the best workout possible, elevate as high as possible on your tiptoes.

2. Calf Raises

Place your toes on the edge of a book or step, with the heel of your feet suspended over the edge. Lift up your body by using only your calf muscles. This exercise can also be done without jumpsoles, by using a barbell to create resistance.

3. Sprints

Run at full speed for about 30 meters, jog for 20 meters, and then return to the starting position. It`s important that you start each spring with explosive power. Between each set you should rest for about a minute or so. During your resting time, stretch and massage the group of muscles that you worked during the dashes. You should give yourself about 48 hours to recover from this jumpsole exercise, before performing the next set of sprints.

4. Squat Hops

Squat into a seated position while cuddling a ball in order to maintain balance. Keep your back rigid and your eyes looking forward. Then elevate at the heels of your feet, or using a “half tiptoe” position. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. While remaining in this position, start hopping 3-5 inches into the air. This is certainly one of the most effective jumpsole exercises that will help to elevate your vertical jump.

5. Step-Ups

Place a stable chair against a wall. Position one of your thighs onto the air, and make it parallel to the floor. Mustering all the strength you can, use the raised leg to push off and jump off the chair as high as possible. While in the air switch legs, and land with the leg that wasn`t raised onto the chair. Repeat the exercise while raising the other leg this time.

6. Thrust-Ups

To begin this particular exercise for jumpsoles, make sure to straighten out both of your legs. Next, bounce yourself up to the highest possible height. Then after landing on the ground again, bounce back up and focus on keeping your legs straight.
