Overview
The adidas vertical jump trainer integrates key features to maximise the benefits of working against external forces whilst jumping. The adjustable padded belt sits low on the waist and close to the base of the spine making it perfectly positioned to help recruit the 'power house' muscles of the core in the hips, thighs and buttocks. The foot and heel cups wrap not only around the ankle but also under the feet to create a secure fit and allowing a full range of motion at the ankle.
To be your best
With over 80% ( commonly it's 87%) of the power in a vertical jump coming from the lower body adding resistance during training is highly beneficial, power up for 8-10 consecutive repetitions for endurance or work on O.R.M. (one rep max) for pure explosive power development.
Coach says
In almost any sport an athletes vertical jump is a good indication as to whether their strength and conditioning training is working work on movement patterns (skill) without the jump trainer then strap it on to work on developing and harnessing the power of the athlete.
Designer notes
Each component of the vertical jump trainer plays a key role in its effectiveness, the belt should sit around the pelvis and the four tubes should distribute the resistance evenly between the upper, lower, front and back of the muscle of the legs. Also, we worked hard on achieving the optimum length for the tubes to ensure that the resistance kicks in early at the base of the squat rather than half way through the jump.
