Vertimax Training
Looking for Game Changer? This is it...
NEW THIS SEASON AT SPORTS EDGE / JJVA!
Starting in January, Sports Edge Performance Training will begin to offer a limited amount of Vertimax training sessions.
Vertimax is the world's leading vertical jump and speed training system. It is the only system that simultaneously loads the upper and lower body.
Meaning...More Explosive in less time.
VertiMax is the most effective vertical jump training system in the world because it allows an athlete to maximize both explosive leg power and arm swing velocity to maximize the vertical lift component which leads to superior vertical jump performance gains. With VertiMax, all the muscles associated with the vertical jump effort will be loaded through the Full Range of the vertical jumping motion. Applying a useful training load through the FULL Range of Motion will more effectively condition the leg, back and shoulder muscles involved with the arm swing to produce power sooner in the explosive movement to improve acceleration and take-off velocity.
Vertimax is next-generation training. VertiMax gives coaches the ability to simulate position-specific and game-specific movements. The equipment is designed to work with the movement of an athlete while applying a resistance band load. For example, blockers can apply a load at their waist and work on approaching the net for a block. Take advantage of being able to create game-type scenarios while applying a load!
Learn more about Vertimax sports-specific training:
Vertimax training is for advanced athletes ages 14 and up.
Each session will only include TWO athletes.
*Note: All athletes will NOT be approved for Vertimax training. The first session will serve as the evaluation and each athlete will need approval from the Sports Edge Performance Training Director to continue.
