There are lots of things you can do to improve your jumping ability. Lift weights, do plyometirc exercises and practice the technique.


If you do not have a coach you can buy some videos on plyometrics and high jump technique.


Look at www.mfathletic.com or www.trackandfieldnews.com|||There are various ways to increase your jump.


The most common way is to purchase a vertical jump program.





Air Alert 4 is the latest version of Air Alert but it still involves the same system of increasing repetitions that results to over-training and eventually injuries.





Personally, I think you should get either one of the following programs:





The Vertical Jump Developmental Bible by Kelly Baggett


(http://www.higher-jump.com)





The Vertical Project by Luke Lowrey


(http://www.theverticalproject.com)





Athletic Advantage


(http://www.athleticadvantage-online.com/鈥?/a>





Jump Experts


(http://www.jumpexperts.com)


These four programs have topped most of the sites that have reviewed various vertical jump programs.





Some of the sites that you can check the reviews are:





http://www.vertjump.com/


http://www.vertcoach.com


http://www.e-reviewers.com/vertical.htm


http://www.higher-jump.com/





There are other sites offering reviews but these four sites have specific criteria in rating the programs, including the prices of the programs and average inches gained when using them.





The Vertical Project usually ranks the highest when you rate the programs when it comes to results. However, be prepared to shell out nearly 300USD for the program and to train for 6 days out of seven to get the results that they claim.





The Vertical Jump Bible sells for 40USD and has been proven very effective as well.





The other two programs have also had significant success so you can entertain which of the four you are getting.





I also suggest that you stay clear of Air Alert and other free jump programs that involve too much repetition, you might manage to get a few inches but since your muscles will be used to the same exercises, subsequent gains will be to a minimum plus you have increase chances of injury.





Check the opinions of people who have used Air Alert and you will see that there a lot of people who have gained and yet, there are also a lot of people who are mad and have regretted doing the program.





I also suggest that you do not use ankle weights if you are doing a program since using them will lead to knee injuries.





If you also want to use other training aids, you can check out Strength Shoes or Jump Soles. The review sites I stated above also feature other training aids so you can check out the more in-depth reviews there.
