SQUAT JUMP

The squat jump test measures explosive strength. This test is performed by starting with your knees bent in a 90 degree angle, and jumping vertically as high as possible from that position. Hands should be held on the hips to avoid the effect of arm swinging to the test. Knees and ankles should be extended at take-off, and they should be in a similar extended position when landing on the ball of the foot.

In the test you perform three attempts of the squat jump and the best attempt is the test result. Give yourself a short recovery period between attempts to ensure maximal effort on every attempt.
