Olympic Weightlifting (OL) improves vertical jump (VJ) height
However, what I found most interesting is that plyometric training was found to be equally as effective

*"Meta-analyses indicated OW improved VJ height by 7.7% (95% CI 3.4 to 5.4 cm) compared to control (ES=0.62, p=0.03) and by 5.1% (95% CI 2.2 to 3.0 cm) compared to traditional resistance training (ES=0.64 p=0.00004). Change in VJ height was not different for OW versus plyometric training."
Olympic weightlifting training improves vertical jump height in sportspeople: a systematic review with meta-analysis -- Hackett et al. -- British Journal of Sports Medicine" OW is an effective training method to improve VJ height. The similar effects observed for OW and plyometric training on VJ height suggests that either of these methods would be beneficial when devising training programmes to improve VJ height."
