Training in water lessens the stress on your joints and puts less strain on
your muscles while yielding gradual, consistent results.
The water provides natural resistance to your muscle movements while at he
same time allowing you to protect your self from injury because of the lower
impact and less potential for injury due to the lessened impact upon landing
in the water where the effects of gravity are almost entirely eliminated.
Pool plyometrics for vertical leap include One foot squats, Two foot squats,
knee bends, and vertical jump squats. Almost any activity that you would do
on the court can me mimicked and performed in the water where there is less
gravity and more resistance.
The easiest pool exercises are the vertical jump squats. They are tailor
made for water jumping workouts. Vertical jump squats done in water put less
stress on your lower body and they are fun to do also. This means you will
want to do them more often and thus improve just that much more faster.
You should do these everyday for the best results. And if you have access to
a swimming pool you most certainly can. You don’t have to worry as much
about being sore from overworking your muscles.
First get into the section of the pool that is chest high in level to you.
And then do 3 to 5 sets of 10 repetitions of vertical jump squats. You can
vary the exercise some by jumping off of one leg for 5 reps then alternating
with the other leg for 5 more. Get creative and have fun with it.
Swimming pool exercises for vertical leap are indeed an asset for anyone who
is working hard to jump higher. This form of exercise gives you the best of
both worlds. Good work for your muscles with less chance for injury from
landing hard on your feet and legs.
