Safety is one of the most important things which should be considered when doing exercises. Many injuries occur as a result of wrong exercises or just due to lack of attention. While doing exercises for improving vertical leap you will face some injury or the other. When you don't know how to jump higher correctly then it will be a problem. A simple thing that you can do is exercise in slow motion to get all the things correctly. Then gradually increase the intensity when you can do the exercise correctly. Many a times people just start with complete power but this will eventually go down and there will be no improvement. Do you want this to happen to you? I will certainly not wish for such thing.
The common complaints of people trying to jump higher are some sort of pain in the
toes
ankles
knees
calf muscles
back
shin
These problems can and should be avoided so that you do not injure yourself badly. Some of the things that you can do to avoid unnecessary problems are
1) Do not do workouts like crazy. Keep a limit according to your body's strength.
2) The moment you feel some pain in any part of the body, you should stop and see whether the injury is small or big.
3) There are some reports that using ankle weights will cause damage to the foot. So better to avoid it.
4) Do the exercises in a good open place.
5) Don't do awkward jumps. Many teens will try some stupid things and the only thing they do is injure themselves. Trust me you dont want this.
6) Do not push beyond limits.
7) Work on the whole body and not just one or two parts.
8) Last but not the least, take adequate rest to rejuvinate yourself.
