When learning how to jump higher with plyometric exercises you have to understand the biomechanics of jumping.
Jumping is not only dependent on how strong your legs are, you also have to have speed because speed+strength=power. You need the most power possible in order to jump higher.
Plyometrics are workouts that are designed to increase the speed in your legs so that you can be more explosive and in return jump higher. Many people think that they can jump higher by simply doing jumping exercises without any sort of weight training.
You also have to include strength training because your legs need strength to handle the stress that is put on them when doing jump training. It is recommended that you have sufficient strength before you ever begin a jump training program.
