An increased vertical leap is highly desirable for competitive performance. To propel oneself to a greater height provides a 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. Basketball Volleyball Football Soccer Netball Dance Gymnastics Athletics Martial Arts 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.
Highly Effective "Galileo WBV was recommended by my physio to help increase leg strength for my knees. The great thing with it was that I was able to increase power, speed and strength and my knee pain is gone" John, Touch Rugby "After having knee pain from training I have been trying to get stronger and be able to jump higher.

Training
Power and Skill Together
Utilising Galileo 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. Galileo 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, so just standing on the platform for five minutes can improve your vertical leap by eight percent. With more sessions of just standing on the platform up to fourteen percent improvement can be gained. 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. Gains of twenty percent in vertical leap height have been achieved by participants in our program. ![]() |
