We all want to improve jumping skills and speed. With that comes the need for a strong foundation of Fitness, Flexibility, Strength, Stability and motor control. An overemphasis of a particular skill or movement is likely to lead to imbalance, overuse, burnout, and create more problems than it solves. We look at four ways to challenge an athlete on a progressive program. As they acquire skills we can elicit change with an increase in:
Volume - the number of repetitions performed on a given block.
Intensity - the load imparted on them through external weight or distribution like single leg versus double leg.
Duration - time allocated to an individual movement as it relates to speed, slow v fast (Tempo). Or the time of the bout itself eg. 15 sec v 45 sec increased methodically over time.
Complexity - This relates to the demand and neuromuscular coordination required to accomplish a task. Some simple examples of this would be to do an exercise on an unstable surface, using audible or visual cues for reaction in agility drills, or challenging them in different planes of movement eg. Jump rope side to side or backwards versus the typical forward version.
