Back to Sports Training Tips

For years people have believed that the secret to vertical jumping is solely in the calf.  However, recent research shows that toe muscles are very
important when trying to jump high.  Specifically targeting your metatarsophalangeal muscle flexor (toe flexor muscles ) improves your
performance in  horizontal and vertical jumping.*  Subjects who worked their toe flexor muscles a few times a week showed an inch of vertical jump
improvement.

If you have the Jumpsoles with Proprioceptors, you can do toe flexor exercises by inserting the Proprioceptor in the frontmost hole and doing any
exercises, but especially rotations and front to back exercises.
