An increased vertical leap is highly desirable for competitive performance. The ability to propel oneself to a greater height provides an incomparable advantage. Stronger rebounding, shooting, blocking, spiking, punching, tapping, marking, heading, catching, intercepting, throwing and air time can all be achieved with a better vertical leap.

Whilst some people show a natural ability, jumping higher is a skill that can be learnt and improved. Effective training of muscle power, along with speed and motor coordination will produce exceptional improvements in vertical leap.

"After only 5 weeks I blew all my coaches away at the national training camp with an increase of 12cm in my jump height. They were very impressed." Tenille, Volleyball

Training Power and Skill Together

Utilising Whole Body Vibration and the latest research on human performance our exercise physiologists have developed a vertical leap program that can take you to new heights.

Whole Body Vibration produces a significant artificial increase in gravity, which forces the leg muscles to work harder just to hold your body weight up. Immediate neural-potentiation occurs. Just standing on the platform for five minutes can improve your vertical leap by 8% and can increase up to fourteen percent improvement can be gained. Gains of twenty percent in vertical leap height have been achieved by participants in our program.

Good vertical leap also requires skill, and our specialised training program teaches proper motor control and muscle coordination. So at the same time as strength is being gained, so too is power and skill.
