Training Exercises to Increase Your Vertical Jump and Slam Dunk

In this article I am going to cover exercises to increase your vertical jump and slam dunk. There are two main categories of training that you should incorporate into your routine. The first is plyometric exercises, which train your body to increase its muscular power. Muscular power is what drives your body when it explodes and jumps up. The second is strength training exercises, which trains your body to increase its overall strength. Strength can be looked at as the amount of horsepower your body has. The stronger your muscles are, the more force they can exert and the higher up you can jump. Plyometrics and strength training have different styles of training but when used together in a single program, they can be very effective in increasing your vertical jump to slam dunk.
