EVOLVE Testing Standing Broad Jump Test
HORIZONTAL POWER ASSESSMENT

Standing Broad Jump Test.

Measure lower-body horizontal explosive power by recording the furthest distance an athlete can jump from a stationary two-foot take-off. Repeat the same protocol across trials to establish a reliable power-performance baseline.

Test Protocol

Standardised standing broad jump procedure

The Standing Broad Jump Test assesses horizontal explosive performance by measuring the maximum distance achieved from a standing two-foot take-off. The athlete should use the same starting position, arm action, landing method, surface and measurement procedure for every trial.

01
Warm Up Complete a progressive warm-up with mobility, dynamic movement and several submaximal jumps before maximal trials.
02
Prepare the Start Line Stand behind a clearly marked take-off line with both feet positioned comfortably and without crossing the line.
03
Set the Take-Off Position Use a stable two-foot starting stance. A countermovement and natural arm swing may be used when following the selected protocol.
04
Jump Forward Maximally Swing the arms and drive through both legs to jump as far forward as possible from the stationary position.
05
Land Under Control Land on both feet and maintain balance. Avoid stepping backwards after landing because the nearest rear contact point determines the measured distance.
06
Repeat the Trials Allow adequate recovery between maximal attempts. Record at least three valid trials and use the best distance as the primary result.
EVOLVE Scoring Method

Measure from the take-off line to the nearest landing contact point behind the athlete. Record each valid trial in the selected unit. EVOLVE identifies the highest valid jump distance as the primary performance result and also displays the average of all valid trials.

How to Record the Result

Measure each jump from the take-off line to the nearest contact point behind the athlete. Enter at least three valid attempts. EVOLVE converts inches to centimetres when necessary, calculates each trial in centimetres, then selects the longest valid jump.

Performance Interpretation

Your result will appear here after completing the test.

Important: Jump distance is the primary result. Any comparison should use the same take-off line, measurement method, footwear, surface and jump technique. The optional relative-distance value is calculated from the athlete's body height when supplied.
