10 seconds left on the clock. The point guard is in possession of the ball – he sees his opening and passes it to the small forward. It’s an aggressive play, but they’re going for it! He takes possession of the ball, sees the opening, takes the leap and…plop. It’s no secret – if your vertical jump is lacking, then there is no chance that you’re dunking on the opposing team. That’s where we come in with the ArisPro – a vertical jump training machine that is designed to help you improve your jump with data-driven analytics.

The number one opponent every athlete faces – both professional and amateur – is time. The second opponent is accessibility to a niché trainer. A performance athlete is effective in his or her sport, and the trainer is who will take them to the next level.

If this is the case, then how do athletes without access to these trainers make use of the limited time that they have on the field, and get the maximum results from their efforts? It’s the time on the field and the access to these movement-specific analytics that separate the enthusiastic athlete from the elite.

In order for an athlete to increase jump height, strength training is essential. This includes plyometric exercises that are greatly focused on increasing velocity and explosive power. Many plyometric exercises that are aimed at improving an athlete’s vertical jump include exercises such as box jumps and single leg squats.

However, an added component has been shown to not only build strength, but to build it through resistance training. By utilizing the core variables of strength training (sets, repetitions, exercises, intensity, frequency, and rest), our team of athletic entrepreneurs developed ArisPro – a mobile, vertical jump trainer machine designed to provide inspired athletes with democratizing access to elite athletic performance training.

How to Jump Higher with ArisPro

Improving your jumping ability with ArisPro is a one-of-a-kind athletic training machine that not only applies resistance to each jump – it provides data-driven performance metrics that helps athletic coaches, athletes, and sports medicine professionals improve their strength, explosive power, and vertical jump.

Who can use ArisPro for Vertical Jump Training

If you run, jump, or require constantly cutting or changing directions in your sport, then you qualify as an active user of ArisPro. Sports athletes in volleyball, basketball, track-and-field, and soccer are among the top users. This training is essential for players looking to reach higher to deflect or intercept passes, players that want to increase stability in the lower body to prevent injury, and (the most common goal that Aris hears from its athletes) players that want to execute powerful dunks.

ArisPro is perfect for track and field, volleyball, and basketball players needing to increase their verticality.

Paired with explosive jump workouts and plyometrics, the ArisPro tracks and saves workouts for individual athletes.

Coming in at the same cost of competitors such as the Vertimax Machine, but with significantly more robust features, such as AI Adaptive Training programs, the ArisPro brings elite performance training machines down to the level of all inspired athletes who want to increase their vertical jump and athletic performance.

Why ArisPro for Vertical Jump Training?

Data-Driven Results with ArisPro

Train. Track. Test. Teach. This is the cycle the ArisPro and its athletes experience as they improve their performance. As athletes train with the ArisPro vertical jump trainer, it syncs up with the athlete using the device.

  • Train – Every time you step on the ArisPro, you are training your body to become a better version of itself. It’s not just your body you are training – with it’s Adaptive Training functionality, every use of this vertical jump training machine only improves the machine and your training experience.
  • Track – As you train, the brains of the computer does the legwork for you. Every jump you make, every ounce of resistance, and impact you make on the platform is tracked. What you measure, grows.
  • Test – As your training progresses, it’s vital to mark your benchmarks. Your first cycle will set the baseline of the movement you are working on. As you go through the Train, Track, Test, Teach cycle, you will only work to improve your baseline and move the needle.
  • Teach – Your results from your testing aren’t just for your benefit. Every movement made teaches the ArisPro how to adapt to you and what works for training and improving your vertical jump. And with data-insights from ArisPros from around the world, it can identify similar trends to your vertical jump progressions and adapt to a training cycle that is tailored to you.

Going through a variety of vertical jump exercises (chosen through the ArisIntel proprietary artificial intelligence engine), the generated personalized training programs are then synchronized with the cloud or locally hosted data where continuous adaptation and reporting is executed. Utilizing the data that is generated over a number of exercises to increase your vertical jump performance, athletes are then able to evaluate their performance over time and gain on-demand instruction by elite coaches.

Drills to Increase Vertical Jump

Utilizing ArisPro as an enhanced vertical jump training system, athletes can tremendously enhance their plyometric drills by adding trackable-resistance training to their explosive jumping exercises.

Increase Height

Athletes who are looking how to get explosive jumps will consider movements such as:

  • Vertical Jumps: Standing in a standing position, athletes will squat and jump as high as they can.
  • Box Jumps: Box jumps incorporate squat jumps and upper body, arm swing movement as athletes increase box height.

Make sure to read about these great exercises to help increase your jump height.

Increase Explosiveness

  • Box Jumps: Already mentioned above, box jumps are also a great way to increase an athlete’s explosive power. Neglecting to apply the appropriate explosive power needed to land on top of the box can result in an unforgettable rep.
  • Jump Squats: An enhanced version of a standard air-squat, jump squats incorporate a jump as athletes explode to the top of their squat.

Explosiveness is the intensity that an athlete is able to perform a task. The intensity of that explosive power can mean the difference between first and second place – even if both athletes are able to max out at the same speed, whoever can get there first has the advantage.

Increase Agility

While the ArisPro is a wonderful jump machine, it is also great for athletes who want to enhance their explosive power in a sprint or enhance their agility and footwork.

Make sure to read more about these additional drills athletes can perform to increase their agility.
