Vertical Jump Test
The Vertical Jump Test measures an individual's explosive leg power and overall athletic ability. It is commonly used in sports science and fitness assessments to evaluate performance. Participants jump as high as possible from a standing position, and the height of the jump is recorded, often using a measuring device like a wall-mounted ruler or a jump mat.
This test is beneficial for athletes in sports such as basketball and volleyball, where jumping ability is crucial. It helps coaches and trainers identify strengths and areas for improvement, guiding training programs to enhance performance in activities requiring vertical leap, such as basketball and volleyball.
