OVR Jump Math/Physics of Explosive Jumping: F=MxA (Force = Mass x Acceleration) The higher your squat one rep Max is the more potential you have for a higher vertical jump height. The faster you move the higher your jump will be. Both of these are neuro-muscular stimulations and adaptations. If you stress or stimulate your body the right way, you will see progress. If you do it incorrectly, you will not see any improvement. RFD (Rate of Force Development) How fast you can m

Speed, power, and reactivity. The ability to move explosively is one of the most impressive attributes in sports and athleticism. From a sprinter accelerating off the line, an NBA player jumping for a rebound, or a soccer player changing direction instantly; explosive athletes always seem to be one step ahead. Most people believe this type of functionality is purely genetic. While genetics do play a role, the truth is that explosiveness can be practiced and improved significa

Most of us don't immediately think of "jumping" and "explosive" movements when we picture a fitness routine for adults over 60. Understandably, plyometric training is often associated with athletic performance and high-intensity sports, so it may seem unsuitable at first. However, when carefully executed and introduced through gradual progression, plyometrics can provide significant advantages for seniors - particularly when it comes to preserving muscle mass, reactivity, bal
