I heard that it is important to have very strong abdominal muscles in order to have a good vertical leap. Is this true? If so, how do your abdominals help in jumping?

your abdominals are the core of your body, having a strong core will make all your muscles stronged, when you jump you jump with your legs, and core, jump around a bit when crouched, youre core will start to get sore, you exert all your muscles

Hamstrings, calves, lower back, quadriceps and glute muscles. Studies have shown that the majority of force generated during a vertical jump is generated by these muscles. But there is so much more to increasing your vertical than just strength training. If you are serious about making gains you should use a program designed by Luke Lowrey the World's Undisputed #1 Vertical Leap Expert. It's called “Double Your Vertical Leap: The Professional Vertical Leap Enhancement System” http://doiop.com/VERTICAL .

You use your core muscles for just about everything (even just sitting in your chair at the computer). It wouldnt be too surprising if it doesnt have quite a bit to do with it.
