Greetings. The prime agonists used in jumping include the Quadraceps muscle group (anterior of the femur, including the rectus femoris, and the lateral, intermedial and medial vastii), the hamstring muscle group (including the semitendinosis, semimembranosis and biceps femoris), the gluteuls, and finally the plantar flexors (gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris).
To increase ability in jumping, focus on the dead lift and squat using moderate heavy weights explosively, and if you're feeling confident try the power clean as well. Also do some plyometrics, like jumping onto a box.
