FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility is defined as the range of motion in a joint or series of joints. The flexibility drills in M.V.P will greatly increase the flexibility of your achilles, calves, hamstrings, and hip flexors will aid in increasing your vertical jump. Improving the range of motion you can take your joints through increases your potential to produce power. The more power you can produce, the higher you can jump.

The days of sitting on the ground and static stretching are over! In addition to improving flexibility, dynamic flexibility exercises assist in developing coordination and motor ability - both of which are attributes that help improve a player's explosiveness.

The Flexibility chapter contains 10 exercises that will increase your range of motion which will increase your vertical jump.

M.V.P. 2.0 uses Motion Through Time technology in the Breakdown segments to really drive home key points of doing the various exercises. We cut no corners in producing M.V.P. 2.0.

CORE

When most people think of their "jumping muscles" they think of their legs and hips. However, your core (abs, low back, hip flexors) play a huge role in jumping. Your core is the center of every athletic movement! This core workout is unique because it's:

• Creative - The days of doing regular crunches are long gone; players want and need to be stimulated with new and innovative exercises.
• Uses auxiliary muscles - These exercises also work the muscles of the hands, forearms, and shoulders - which are injury prone areas.
• Uses a ball - Basketball players love to have a ball in their hands. By giving them a ball they actually like to work their core!

Strength is the ability to produce force. The more force you can create against the ground, the higher you can jump. You must not only strength train your lower body, but must train your upper body as well. Your upper body plays a key role in how much force you can produce in your vertical jump.

Alan gives you the best 9 upper body exercises to do and the best 9 lower body to increase your vertical jumping ability.  Vertical jump programs that only use natural body weight, will not allow you to develop additional force from your muscles. That means you will not be able to jump as high as you possibly could.

If you are going to unleash the M.V.P. in you, strength training your upper and lower body is a must.

POWER

Power is the ability to exert strength quickly and forcefully, which is the essence of jumping! The Power chapters include:

• Plyometrics
• Power Drills
• Progressive Dunks
• Box/Bleacher Jumps

Don't have plyo boxes? No problem. All you need is a sturdy bench to jump on. You can even use the bleachers at your school.

The Breakdown segments use Motion Through Time technology to show you the Power exercises unlike any other program.

PROGRESSIVE DUNKS

The Progressive Dunks chapter shows you how to measure your progress through the program. Progressive dunks are fun and truly show your progress.

With a comprehensive program like M.V.P. 2.0 you will train all the necessary components to jump as high as you possibly can.
