    If you are training just to jump higher, the Jump Science programs are designed to be sufficient on their own without additional training. However, if you are training for a sport, you should play or practice that sport regularly. You need to limit sport play to 2-3 hours per week while trying to increase jumping ability to avoid exceeding your body's ability to adapt. Multiple hours of sport play per day will likely slow your progress. Conditioning workouts should also be avoided unless necessary as they add stress and train endurance rather than athleticism. The best conditioning is playing your sport at high effort.

    Sport Play

    If you are just training to jump higher, the Jump Science programs are designed to be
    sufficient on their own. You do not need additional training. If you are training for a sport
    other than just jumping, there is an assumption that you will play or practice your sport
    regularly. The programs certainly allow some concurrent sport play, but you do need to
    consider the total amount of stress on your body. There is a limit to how much you can
    adapt to at one time. With that in mind, ideally you would limit yourself to 2-3 hours per
    week of sport play while trying to increase your jumping ability. If you exceed this
    amount, the extra stress will likely slow your body’s response to the training and delay
    results. Of course slow results are perfectly fine. Just have realistic expectations.

    If you do multiple hours of sport play per day, it will likely be difficult to gain athleticism at
    that time. This does not mean the training is wasted, but you will probably have to get
    more rest at some point to see athletic results. In this situation you can help yourself out
    by eating lots of carbohydrates and sleeping well.

    Conditioning
    People also ask about doing conditioning alongside the training program. A few points
    on this topic…

    1. Conditioning workouts are additional stress on the body just like sport play, and
    they train endurance rather than athleticism. Conditioning can definitely reduce
    the results of a training program. With that in mind…
    2. Avoid conditioning when it is not necessary. There is no reason to try to be in
    mid-season shape early in the off-season. If you are not within a month of
    needing your endurance to be at its best, do not train endurance. Take time to let
    your athleticism develop. You cannot get better at everything at the same time.
    3. Endurance is highly specific to the task. This means that the best conditioning for
    a sport is playing the sport at a high effort level. Conditioning workouts are lame.
    If you play/practice your sport hard, you should not need additional conditioning.
    4. Athletes have often done more than enough work to gain great endurance for
    sport. If you struggle to sustain performance through hard games and practices,
    it may be the result of insufficient fuel. Start hitting your daily carbohydrate
    requirements, and watch your endurance improve dramatically.
