How To Test Your Max Vertical Jump
This is how I test an athlete's vertical jump.
Step 1 - Measure their standing reach - fully extend your arms and have your heels firmly planted to the floor.
Step 2 - Warmup and maximal jump attempts - I tell my athletes to jump with increasing intensity (25%, 50%, 75%) to warmup, and then attempt 2-4 max jumps depending on if they keep improving.
Step 3 - Calculate max vertical - Take your max vertical jump, and subtract your standing reach to get your max vertical jump.
Measure Standing Reach - 00:00-00:27
Jumping Protocol, Warmup & Max Jumps - 00:28-01:20
Calculating Jump - 01:20-01:38
