Are you looking for a book that gives both the scientific basis for equipping athletes to jump higher, as well as tools to get them to their highest potential?
Are you an athlete who wants more than just a jumping program, but rather, the deeper reasons behind how we actually jump high and well?
Vertical Foundations is the first vertical jump book that is written by a coach who has worked in track and field, strength and conditioning, and online training, as well as having published research on plyometrics. You won’t find a book anywhere else from a coach with this unique experience.
With plenty of research, case studies, biomechanical models, and great sample training programs (1 block each), this book is a must have for anyone interested in the vertical jump.
If you are serious about sport performance training, the vertical jump is a topic that inevitably comes up, and for good reason. It is the head-turning manifestation of explosive power that comes with fine-tuned athleticism.
It is time for a vertical jump book that encompasses science, biomechanics, proven programming, and the absolute wealth of knowledge that track and field has to offer. Vertical Foundations is the first book of its kind, integrating physiology, research, and observational analysis of hundreds of athletes into a work detailing the following:
The science of muscle action in vertical jumping
Which muscles influence different style of jumping
Technical points of standing and running jump Differences of force and speed dominant athletesStrength training and plyometric work
The influence of exercise on jump technique
Sample programming and training insights
