Many sports often require the athlete to perform an explosive jump during game play (i.e. think basketball or volleyball). Ultimately, this leads to many athletes training to improve their ability to actually jump higher or further. Fair enough, who doesn't want to be able to rock the rim and dunk it? However, how many of these athletes actually seek to improve their ability to land from a jump, hop or bound? Not many, if any.
