will jumping on my trampoline help me jump higher for volleyball?

I suppose. But jumping and hitting it harder and using more force requires using your leg strength. So do wall sits and maybe jumping and sprinting on your tips.

Trampoline Volleyball

Start Jumping 9 -15 Inches Higher Today!

Hi i'm on a varsity team and i have a tramp and i am a left side hitter and it can help you but what i would do is just practice your jump swing about 10-20 times every couple days and that helps me a lot but the trampoline can work a little.

You haven't given any background on your age or experience in training, so I'm assuming you are young and have little weight training experience. If this is so, you should have someone experienced help you with the weight training exercises as you can become hurt if you do not do them right. Anyway, my high school had an amazing strength and conditioning coach. I increased my vertical by 6 inches from 26 to 32 inches at the end of volleyball season (weight training, plyometrics, JO). This is not a normal progression. i just happened to have the right body build and genetics. What is really important is how close you have pushed yourself to *your* max--not how you compare to other people. There are four main things you can concentrate on to increase your vertical. 1.) Strength: weight room exercises like squat, power clean (expert lift--do not do without LOTS of training) and leg presses will increase both the strength and power of your legs. I know an old vb monthly issue from around '95 did a break down of how your muscles contribute to your vertical and your quads generate around 60-75% of your jumping power. So even if you strengthen your calves by double doing jump rope you are only increaseing your vertical by maybe 10%. If you are new to the weight room, i would suggest doing the legpress or hacksquat machines after you get proper instruction in their usage. You should vary the sets between 12-15 and 8-10. (please research weight training and get some actual instruction first) 2. Jump kinaesthetics - your jumping form. Almost no one jumps with perfect form. There are a number of techniques for getting maximum height from your jump--from how you plant your feet, how fast your approach, to making sure you swing both arms to full extention over your head as you jump. 3. Plyometrics as someone else mentioned. Plyometrics helps with functional training. It helps train your muscles to have good jump kinaesthetics through muscle memory and it also helps tie everything together regarding neurological efficiency (how your neurons fire your muscle fibers), your muscles, and the elasticity of your connective tissue (which acts as a rubber band to help you jump). The box jumps someone else mentioned 4. Body weight: the less your body weighs the stronger your muscles have to be. You should not concern yourself with body weight unless you are actually overweight. Most people that try to lose weight end up losing more muscle than fat, so it's more important to build muscle than try to lose fat. More then likely you will need to eat more calories when you start training or you won't get the results you want. Building muscle requires calories and good nutrition. Don't forget that the more muscle you have the more calories you'll burn during the day--so you can burn fat by weight training. (however, you might gain weight since muscle is heavier then fat--this is ok! muscle weight is fine) And finally, make sure you your knees checked out and healed up. Even after that you might have to ice your knees after hard workouts and games because you will probably get tendonitis if your knees are bad. Don't skimp on the ice if your doctor recommends it because it will make you heal faster. Oh, and if you are running, you should look into HITS--high intensity training. You don't want to train your legs for endurance. You want to train your fast twitch muscles not your slow twitch muscles. Jumping is a fast twitch exercise. HITS basically is a program of sprints separated by walking or jogging in between them. Sprinting is much more useful for a volleyball player.

yea it can, or you can try keeping your legs even, and jump on and off the bottom step of the bleachers over and over. :) jumping up the stairs 2 at a time will work a little bit, and jumping with anlkle weights will too. But dont over work :) i hope this helped i play volleyball too.

Not sure if that will help you or not, but jumping with ankle weights can build up your strength and get your body used to working harder to jump. Once you take them off, you may find that it's easier to jump higher.

IT can hurt and might help you to get strong from muscle member. It can help with your form if you are hitting. Your should run the stairs & you can use step by jump up and jump down.

No. This is what you need to do....Run...run...run....strengthen your leg muscles. Then to practice jumping, stand with your face facing a wall and practice jumping and reaching as high as you can. make sure to use your legs and really get a good jump each time you do it.

Im not really sure but I think it would probably help because it strengthens your legs. You can also do jump roping to increase your jump!
