The calf muscle is the muscle that is dominantly used when you jump. Both the crouching and shooting upwards motions use this muscle. African Americans can jump higher because they have been scientifically proven to have an extra muscle in this specific area

calf-try doing strength training for it like toe dips. place your toes on a high platform-a staircase would work, and push your foot up and down 100 times per foot. this strengthens the calf muscle.

Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Calves, Glutes, they all work together to help "spring" you into action.
