Vertical Jump Protocol

[@equilibrochu]

The measure should be taken at full body stretch from the ground onto the tip of you toes, not flat feet. Also, the dominant arm should be stretched to its max, involving a rotation in the ribcage. Furthermore, there is a slight weight shift to the dominant hand's opposite foot on take off, therefore, the body diagonal used with one foot on the ground should be the reference. Just like you don't measure a long jump from the jump mark to the farthest mark in the sand upon landing, because it doesn't make sense.

[@Jayreisa]

This doesn't make sense because you're using the displacement. The most accurate measure of this would be from the greater trochanter using a video and meter stick to measure the distance travelled. But anyway if you look at the protocol as written it says feet flat on the floor.

Thank you for the brevity in this video. Can you explain why there should be no counter movement in the jump?

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

Hi skid439. Its simply a standarized protocol. You could absolutely use a counter movement but would need to compare those results to a different norms table.

Measurement & Evaluation Techniques because you more and likely can go higher by using counter movements and that’s a different norm graph for a different vertical

Not saying he isn't good at jumping but it wasn't set up at his proper height. It has to be readjusted for each person to the highest they can reach straight up to the first marker without jumping.

[@JulesLife]

You have to start from a paused squat? Other videos don’t say that. They say you can swing down them up right away.

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

The norms table used in this video is "calibrated" or "created" using the paused technique. Eliminating excessive arm swing or "bouncing" at the bottom of the squat makes this technique an accurate assessment of peak leg power because it isolates that muscle movement. You should always be following the exact same technique the norms table you are using has been validated for, and never compare results from athletes using different techniques!

where i can buy vertec?

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

There are a bunch of different models online ranging from relatively cheap to over $900 CAD. I recommend using the "shopping" option in the google search bar to give you an idea of retailers.

[@vincenzopiermatteo6370]

hello!! what is the name of the tool used for measuring?

[@martinv.-]

Vertec

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

It's called a Vertec or "Vertical challenger"

[@ramseyferguson6328]

I have been utilizing this vertical jump program for five days and I have already acquired about 4-5 inches. This program was really impressive. This is the finest vertical jump program I have ever done and I`ve attempted them all. I found this jump program by Google. The jump guidebook is over here t.co/aX2oR1o9FS

[@ES343]

can you do running jumps with this

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

This test measures peak leg power. A running jump translates some horizontal movement into the the clients jump height which adds more variables to the equation. Starting from a stationary position and jumping with no counter movement allows you to use a single norms table to compare results.

[@aurias01]

If you tell me how to jump its already wrong

[@vanessaalexandragironescob5399]

Good afternoon, could you tell me what is the name of the machine you use to measure the jump and where can I buy it, thanks

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

It's called a Vertec or "Vertical challenger". You can get them on amazon or various fitness/gym supply stores.

[@strengthandgritfitness1669]

Please have this athlete work on their anterior pelvic tilt.

[@MehdiCheniti]

How? I have the same.

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]

I'll let her know.

[@mirojuric706]

that was weak

[@measurementevaluationtechn8926]
