Plyometrics and Vertical Jump : How to Increase Your Vertical Jump (Increase Your Vertical Jump in Volleyball and Basketball)

Elevation was created by a team of leading university researchers who are passionate about athletic performance. Our mission is to develop the most scientifically advanced and effective training program. We aim to help you increase explosive strength and power, lose weight and improve athletic performance. In one study we took 2 leading university college basketball teams, gave one half the elevation program and the other half a normal plyometric program. The results were quite simply amazing! Subjects using the elevation program gained an explosive 6 inches in just 6 weeks on vertical leap from standing position.
