Talk:Vertical jump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed the jumpsoles advertisment
I propose that this page be merged with Vertical Leap. --Raelifin 22:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
What is an average vertical jump height for a 24 year old male?
-The average vert of the nba is 28, average male 24 yr old would be around 20"
[edit] "More efficient?"
"A second, more efficient and correct method is to used an infrared laser placed at ground level. When an athlete jumps and breaks the plane of the laser with their hand, the height at which this occurs is measure."
How is this more efficient and correct?
Surely calibrating lasers etc is less efficient and as for being "correct" that just doesn't make sense....
Surely the pressure pad timing and a bit of school boy mechanics is just as good...
This paragraph is unclear. Please change.
Studies have shown that the majority of force generated during a vertical jump is generated by these muscles, and most importantly the quadriceps which are not part of the p-chain but rather the Anterior Chain
