Vertical Jump Test
The vertical jump test is designed to measure your explosive leg power. Use of counter-movements of the legs and arm swings prior to take off will maximize the jump height. Both movements in combination with one another increase the body’s center of mass to rise improving the jump height by as much at 12%.
At U Can Finish on Oct 19, Florida Hospital will provide vertical jump assessments.
