For basketball player and volleyball players, having a strong vertical leap is essential for increasing your level of play. Whether you are going up for a rebound in basketball or hitting a spike in volleyball, a high vertical leap makes it much easier.
Abdominal Crunches
To perform these abdominal exercises, lie down on the floor on your back, maintain a straight back, and lift your shoulders off the ground without straining the neck and crunch. Repeat 10 times. Another of the best waist exercises, which work well on the obliques and abs is the bicycle crunch exercise.
Toe Raises
This exercise helps build the strength in the calf muscles. Toe raises can be performed with or without weight. A toe raise machine can be used if you are doing this exercise in a gym and if you are doing them at home you can use a thick piece of wood or a stair. Start with your heels hanging over the edge and then rise up onto your tip toes. Then lower back down and repeat.
Squat
Considered to be one of the versatile all around vertical leap exercises, squat is the best exercise for building leg strength. It can be performed in a squat rack with weight or without weight. It primarily targets the leg muscles and posterior chain muscles and works on all muscles simultaneously.
