Mobility:

At Power Jump Performance, we emphasize mobility over flexibility. Mobility refers to the active range of motion in specific planes, axes, and directions. Proper mobility training helps the muscles hold variable tension through the full range of motion, mimicking a coiled spring that releases energy optimally in sport-specific directions. This active approach to mobility enhances jump performance and prevents injuries.

Sleep:

Adequate sleep is of paramount importance for jump skill and ability. Studies have shown that reduced sleep can negatively affect performance, leading to reduced nervous system efficiency, impaired cognitive function, and decreased motivation. To optimize jump performance, young athletes should aim for 10-12 hours of sleep per night, according to Sleepfoundation.org.

Evaluation Of The Demands Of Your Particular Sport:

At Power Jump Performance, we tailor our training to address each athlete's strengths and weaknesses in jumping techniques specific to their sport. For example, in basketball and volleyball, the focus might be on optimizing jumps, whereas track and field athletes aim for maximal height or distance. Our training approach includes various methods, such as unilateral and bilateral jump training, randomized, weighted, and overspeed executions, all methodically and progressively designed to prioritize quality over quantity.

At Power Jump Performance, we cater to athletes of all ages, helping them achieve their highest potential in vertical jump performance. Contact us today to begin your journey towards improved vertical jumping ability!
