I read an article here and it mentions that core training may improve a person's vertical jump about 6"-7" within a mont. So what kind of core training I supposedly need to do within that one month time?
Answer The "core" is made up of the "inside" muscles within your torso and pelvis. Your lower back, abs, and muscles surrounding your spine make up the core. If you strengthen these muscles from the inside out, chances are your vertical jump will improve. Try these exercise: (Google them) if you are not familiar:
Planks,
Bridges
Side planks
Supermans
1-leg bridges
pallof exercise
landmines
ab rollouts
inchworms
jackknifes
