JUMP TRAINING

How do I increase my vertical?

Jump training, also known as plyometric/speed/muscular endurance training, is geared toward athletes looking to increase their vertical, speed, power, balance, and agility, as well as reduce injury onset.


To increase your vertical, sign up for Recovery + Jump Yearly membership to get access to all 52 weeks, then complete each HIIT Jump class 1 to 3 times per week.

What is Jump Training?

Jump training, also known as plyometric/speed/muscular endurance training, is geared toward athletes looking to increase their vertical, speed, power, balance, and agility, as well as reduce injury onset.


It designed to have athletes working a variety of movements (including jumping, sprinting, and agility) in multiple planes and have their muscles exert maximum force in short intervals.


It is great for all sports, but it is especially important for athletes looking to increase their vertical, such as in volleyball, basketball, and track.


It is also an effective method to reduce the incidence of sports injuries, including the most common type which takes place during a deceleration task (such as a rapid change of direction or when trying to stop instantly). 

How does the Jump Training program work?

Our program focuses on improving athletic performance within the Stabilization, Strength, and Power levels of the OPT Model.


In order to progress in the Power level, the athlete first needs to have a good base of stability, strength, and aerobic conditioning.


This style of training plays an important role in the success of many sports that require explosive vertical or linear movement by increasing athletic performance while also reducing risk of injury.


There are four phases of the program and athletes should begin with Phase 1.

What are the phases of the Jump Training program?

Phase 1: Pre-Season (Stabilization)

Everything should be done with ease and grace, smooth, soft, and quiet movements. The athlete will work to hold postures in order to build the proper foundation. Quality over quantity is the focus.


Phase 2: In-Season (Intensify)

Plyos are now of reactive quality. Low box depth jumping, hurdle hop and stick, depth jump to vertical med ball throw. Focus is on minimal contact time. Taking soft contacts from Phase 1 to fast contacts in Phase 2.


Phase 3: Post-Season (Specific)

Big increase in intensity and specificity. Strongest effort and duration of jump, sprint, and plyometric work. The focus should be at 90% max effort, hard but not measured. When working at 97% max it should be all out but at a relaxed state.


Phase 4: Off-Season (Flight & Explosive Force)

This power-based phase will focus on flight and explosive force. However, the goal of this phase is to slightly under train while rotating through force, repetition, and speed techniques. Actual jumping is of the highest priority. It is recommended that you supplement with more HIIT classes during this phase when needed. This is a great route for elite team sport athletes to take.

CLASSES

I'm new to yoga. Where should I start?

The Yoga Beginner Series is perfect for athletes of all sports that have never done yoga or have done yoga but are still new to it. You'll learn basic yoga movements and breathwork techniques to get you confident enough to take any yoga class on our portal.

Is yoga an intense athletic class?

No. Our yoga classes are meant for recovery. But, you’ll still work! Consider it active rest, generally speaking. We focus on increasing range of motion, preventing injury by stabilizing the joints and working on balance and coordination.

Do I need any equipment for the yoga classes?

Technically, you don't need anything but a willing attitude and capable body. However, minimally you will need a yoga mat. Two yoga blocks and a strap could come in handy for allowing you to progress safely and quickly. For Restorative Yoga, if you don't have bolsters, you can use pillows, blankets, and towels.

Do I need any equipment for the HIIT Classes?

We will generally provide bodyweight alternatives for all exercises but if you have the following to include, it will definitely offer that added challenge to all your workouts.

  • Dumbbells

  • Box/Step

  • Resistance Loop

  • Yoga Mat

Should I eat before I train or practice yoga?

Don’t practice on a full stomach, but it is helpful to eat a protein/fat snack about 60 minutes before a session. Also, make sure you are well-hydrated prior to class.
