Toolbox Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I want to know if hindu squats improve the height of my vertical leap so that I can kick higher. Does anybody have any idea?

Kaminari Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Don't know. Plyometric exercises are the best for increasing your vertical. If you want to jump higher, jump onto things. Hindu squats might help your vertical, but the best would be plyometrics.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aodhan Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'll second the plyometrics. Also, realize that it is your calf muscles that provide a majority of the height in a leap, since they flex the foot.If you are doing it from a running or moving start, then you need to learn "blocking", or how to transition your forward momentum to upward momentum. Most people that haven't learned this lose all their forward momentum when they leap from a moving start.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
