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.

It is time for a vertical jump book that encompasses science, biomechanics, proven programming, and the absolute wealth of knowledge that track and field has to offer. Vertical Foundations is the first book of its kind, integrating physiology, research, and observational analysis of hundreds of athletes into a work detailing the following:

The science of muscle action in vertical jumping

Which muscles influence different style of jumping

Technical points of standing and running jump Differences of force and speed dominant athletesStrength training and plyometric work

The influence of exercise on jump technique

Sample programming and training insights

If you want to refine your jumping form, learn how to train based on the demands of your unique jumping style, and reach new heights in training, Vertical Foundations will show you how!

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.

Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.

For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).

While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice.

The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
