    Plyometrics, and explosive squatting movements will be the best to increase vertical leap.

    @ Larry Fike: of course, you are supposed to warm your muscles up before you stretch. If you don't, then yes, injuries can occur. My warm up run can last from 10 to 20 minutes.

    Jumping rope can be really fun and so healthy for us too.

    A former national running coach for Australia (granted, we're not talking Kenya) said in his book on running that it's a mistake to think you should stretch before running. In fact, he said that studies have shown that doing so lead to the bulk of injuries (granted, also, to runners). So I wonder about the "stretching first" gospel. He recommended stretching after 20 minutes of running, even if that's only part-way through your work-out. In my 35 years of running, I've followed his advice during the last 20, and never had an injury. Before? When I stretched first? I had several.
