« on: June 29, 2012, 01:07:02 pm »The question is - how can you increase the maximum controllable speed in the one-leg jump?
The old standby is speed reserve. Basically, that the more speed you have... the faster you can run under control. But, really their is more than one way to skin a cat. All triple jumpers are elastic, but you within the population of triple jumpers you def see those whose strategy is to maintain speed and those whose strategy is to sacrifice speed for a more forceful upward impulse. Here is a quick high-speed camera analysis... it's about long jumping rather than vertical, but it's a good lesson to realize that two of the greatest in the world do things in a very very different fashion:

It probably has a lot to do with your training background as well. Back when I wasn't strength training at all (and weighed 67 kg) I used to jump at a constant speed with a long approach. Now, at 82 kg and with a strength training background, I use a short approach and an acceleration jump (not at a constant speed).

Of course. You can even see the spot where he put his foot on that mattress.

I would never play with a taped "fixed" ankle... no thanks, I don't want an injured knee because of it.

Well good for him. I probably wouldn't squat either in that situation. Why risk a ton by squatting, not being fresh to dunk, so on and so forth, when you can jump 40+ without that?

In my opinion the way you increase your maximum controllable speed is:
1) Try to jump faster every time
2) Doing high tension consecutive jumps (depth jumps, single leg bounds) so that you get accostumed to that level of overload that your jump leg will have to take in and control in the plant.

I asked him if he increased his squat.
He replied "I've increased my faith, man...".
Go figure.
