Study of equation model for vertical jump test

Abstract

Vertical jump is regarded as high power output that can be reached by maximum muscular contraction taking place in less than one second and described as explosive power. Different results may be obtained in different methods applied to the same individual in vertical jump measurements. In the study, it has been aimed to present an equation model at the end of determining the correlation between Stride Bluetooth Sensor (PSBS), Jumpster mobile phone jumping test program (JSP) and Vertical Jump Test (VJT) and deducing by simple linear regression model. 56 male and 34 female participants having 19,4 ± 1,1 year, have been included in the study. Average height of jump of the participants have been measured as PSBS 32.8 ± 8,2 cm, JSP 39.2 ± 8.2 cm and VJT 43.6 ± 8.6 cm. There is a positive relationship of r= 792**, r= 804** according to the Person correlation analysis results between the results of PSBS and JSP tests and VJT test.
