About Vertical Foundations: The Physiology, Biomechanics
Product Description Are you looking for a book that gives both the scientific basis for equipping athletes to jump higher, as well as tools to get them to their highest potential? Are you an athlete who wants more than just a jumping program, but rather, the deeper reasons behind how we actually jump high and well? Vertical Foundations is the first vertical jump book that is written by a coach who has worked in track and field, strength and conditioning, and online training, as well as having published research on plyometrics. You won't find a book anywhere else from a coach with this unique experience. With plenty of research, case studies, biomechanical models, and great sample training programs (1 block each), this book is a must have for anyone interested in the vertical jump. If you are serious about sport performance training, the vertical jump is a topic that inevitably comes up, and for good reason. It is the head-turning manifestation of explosive power that comes with fine-tuned athleticism.
