			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creating explosive movements with your body such as; jump ups, jump downs, push ups, explosive push ups is the basis of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://increase-vertical-jump.info/" target="_blank">Pylometrics Exercise</a>. Pylometrics improves the functions of the nervous system, to produce fast actions generally for the purpose of improving in sports.</p>
<p>The simple formula with muscular power is determined by the length of time it takes for strength to be converted into speed. With the ability to convert strength to speed in a very short time allows athletes to move fast than a normal person.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://increase-vertical-jump.info/" target="_blank">Pylometric Exercise</a> and Weight Training is what the Jump Manual is based on. It gives you a complete package which consists of:</p>
<p> Training Video Guides Nutrition Plan Workout Charts One-on-One Training Weight Training Alternatives (If you don&#8217;t have access to weights) Plus Forums and a lot of more
<p>All these come with the jump manual package. You can talk to other <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://increase-vertical-jump.info/" target="_blank">Pylometric Exercise </a>enthusiasts such as yourself and discuss what is helping them add more than 10 inches in their jump height.<br />These exercises are great for those who practice high jump, basketball and long jump. There is a whole lot to learn in this guide which will get you on your way in teaching you the correct Plyometric Exercises which will only improve your strength and explosive movements to produce the fast actions necessary to develop muscular power.</p>
<p>To gain these explosive movements as well as the strength you need to work at it and keep your goal in your mind at all times. The jump manual has proven to give professional athletes, coaches, and average people an increase of 10 inches and more to their jump height, by following the guide and building on to it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Power is increased using plyometric exercises by reducing the time between eccentric and concentric contractions in the muscles.  An example of this would be completing two double-footed jumps straight after each other; after the first jump, the muscles in your leg are stretched (eccentric contraction) then when you take-off for the second jump, the muscles gain power through an energy transfer brought about by a shortening muscular contraction (concentric contraction).  Reducing the time for this transfer to take place increases your muscular power.</p>
<p>The principles of physics state that power is force acting over distance in a given time.  By reducing the time taken for the force to travel the distance, your power increases; hence, if you can increase your speed, your power increases too.  The reverse is also true, as increasing your power means you can move the same force over the same distance in a shorter time (thus speed has increased).  Plyometric exercises improve co-ordination through bettering your neuromuscular responses and strengthening your tendons and muscles, boosting your power and speed.</p>
<p>Some great plyometric exercises include bunny hops, single leg hops, squat jumps and clapping press-ups.  The aim of employing plyometrics into your exercise routine is not to fatigue your muscles, but rather to improve transfer of energy and body response, which cannot be done in just one session, but rather needs time to improve.  It is recommended that plyometric exercises be performed two to three times a week, with at least 24 hours rest between sessions.  There are plyometric exercises specific to different sports (e.g. football, rugby, tennis), so it is well worth incorporating these into your regime, as well as some of the generic exercises.</p>
<p>Plyometric exercises are just one example of how to increase speed and power, and with the close link between these vital components of performance, its no wonder that they form a big part of training in today&#8217;s modern world of sport!</p>

This is a simple two footed plyometric drill. The jumper works over a series of platforms going from the lowest to the heighest platform. The aim is to be continuous and ensuring that all the plyometric criteria are met. Full-footed landings on the floor, no excessive compression behind the knee on landing on the floor, limited contact time on the floor and most importantly to USE THE STORED MUSCLE TENSION IMMEDIATELY. Note that the jumper finishes off the bounding/rebounding sequence with a DROP and FREEZE. You could do 3 sets of the patforms [in this case 5 platforms]. Have 60 seconds recovery between sets. This drill would be one of several in a typical plyometric training unit. You might even employ the use of a weighted vest with 5-10k loading.

It is vital to understand what they are and how to use them to their best advantage. The Jump Manual is an excellent resource for this.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.verticaljumpexpert.info" title="Vertical Jump">Plyometric drills</a> are used to build muscle elastic strength and explosiveness. They are important in any sport that includes sprinting, jumping and quick changes in direction. There are different exercises to do for both the upper body and the lower body. Exercises have a varying degrees of intensity; skipping, for example, is less intense than depth jumps which are high intensity; in the same way two-foot jumping on the spot has lower impact than drop jumping (dropping to the ground from a box and then jumping up). So taking this into account it is important to have the correct help at the start, to get the exercise selection, sets, repetitions and rest intervals right, according to the level of strength training that you are at.  To help with this the Jump Manual comes with the first 30 days of one-to-one email coaching included in the initial cost.</p>
<p>Combining <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.verticaljumpexpert.info" title="Vertical Jump">plyometric drills</a> and strength training will help improve your vertical jump. Apparently, 90% of people are doing the right plyometric exercises the wrong way, which might explain why many people are unable to increase their vertical jump height, however much effort they put into their training.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been seriously working on increasing your jump, you are now doing different exercises to do that. For sure, you may be doing plyometric exercises, too. If you are into plyometric exercises, you will encounter exercises that require the use of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.plyometrictraining.net/plyometric-boxes.php">plyometric boxes</a>. Are plyometric boxes really needed?</p>
<p> Plyometric boxes are really needed in certain exercises so that you will get more benefits from them. As you increase the height of the boxes which you are using, you are also increasing the intensity of the workouts. And increasing the intensity of your workouts is necessary to continuously improve your performance.</p>
<p> You will now find plyometric boxes of different kinds since plyometrics has increased its popularity. The most popular form of plyometric boxes is the wood type. You could also find ones that are made from steel as well as adjustable boxes. The great thing with adjustable boxes is that you can easily adjust the height of the platform based on what the exercise calls for.</p>
<p> You will surely find so many options for plyometric boxes if you visit a sports shop or scan the Internet. Plyometric boxes are typically square in shape with the bases and platforms with the same width. And the height is commonly 20 inches while the width is 17.5 inches. But you can also find angled plyometric boxes which means that the base is around 6 inches wider than the platform. What is good with the angled boxes is that these can support more weight and the wide base has more security.</p>
<p> If you have the funds to buy plyometric boxes, you can definitely do so. On the other hand, if you want to save on expenses, you can definitely build your own boxes instead. Do not worry about making your own because it is really quite easy than you think.</p>
<p> First, purchase a ¾-inch plywood and cut this into 4 side panels and the remaining piece will be later cut into the top panel. Make a square using the 4 side panels. Put the side panels together using wood glue and screws. The wood glue and screw will ensure the durability of your plyometric box. After making the square, measure the top so you will know the correct size for the top piece. After cutting the top piece, glue and screw it on top of the box. It is that easy to make plyometric boxes.</p>
<p> You could even make enhancements to the plyometric box. For instance, for easily handling of the boxes, you can cut holes at the sides. Also, to prevent slippage, you can put rubber strips at the bottom and a rubber mat on top. Because of the enhancements that you can do, it can be more practical to build your own box.</p>
<p> But before you decide to buy or make your <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.plyometrictraining.net/plyometric-boxes.php">plyometric boxes</a>, have a plyometric workout plan first.
