Worried that your shooting skills, jump power and height are affected by a strenght training program? A new study suggests that you can just go ahead and get stronger.The strength training session on a lift day was a full-body workout and included 7 exercises performed in 3–6 sets at loads ranging from a 5 to 12 repetition maximum.

Here's a nice method for measuring your vertical jump height. First measure the height of the tip of your finger when reaching as high as possible without lifting your feet of the floor.

The basket is at305 cm /120 inch.So if you can just reach it your jump height is 305 - 250 = 55 cm120 - 98.5 = 21.5 inchIf you can't touch the rim you can usually see how much you're short. Or how much your hand is above the rim when you can jump that high :).Now try the vertical jump calculator to see if you can improve. | | 06/12 | improving your Vertical Jump for Basketball |
