Performance Training Blog / Negative heeled shoes (track shoes) to jump higher
« on: July 09, 2015, 02:57:09 pm »
I've always found that I jumped like an inch higher in track shoes and just found out the reason: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10521609
These are the shoes I would normally wear when I used to jump (prior to injury) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BJ87MI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage. They improve your RVJ, but in my experience can actually decrease the SVJ. Anyone else have any similar experiences with negative heeled track shoes? Thanks!
