EVOLVE Testing Vertical Jump Test
POWER ASSESSMENT

Vertical Jump Test.

Measure lower-body explosive power through vertical jump height. Record standing reach and maximum jump reach across repeated trials, identify the best jump and establish a repeatable power-performance baseline.

Test Protocol

Standardised vertical jump assessment procedure

The Vertical Jump Test assesses lower-body explosive performance by measuring the difference between an athlete's standing reach and the highest point reached during a maximal vertical jump. The athlete should use the same measurement method, footwear, surface and technique for every trial when tracking performance over time.

01
Warm Up Complete a progressive warm-up with mobility, dynamic movement and several submaximal jumps before maximal attempts.
02
Measure Standing Reach Stand upright with the testing arm extended as high as comfortably possible and record the highest standing reach.
03
Set the Jump Position Use the same starting technique for every attempt. A countermovement jump with a natural arm swing may be used if that is the chosen protocol.
04
Jump Maximally Perform a maximal vertical jump and reach as high as possible at the top of the jump. Land under control.
05
Repeat the Trials Allow adequate recovery between maximal attempts. Record at least three valid trials and maintain the same technique.
06
Use the Best Jump Jump height equals maximum jump reach minus standing reach. The highest valid jump is the primary result.
EVOLVE Scoring Method

Jump Height = Maximum Jump Reach − Standing Reach. The result can be recorded in centimetres or inches. EVOLVE uses the best valid trial as the primary performance result. If body mass is entered, an optional relative-power estimate can also be displayed; it should be treated as an estimate rather than laboratory power measurement.

How to Record the Result

Enter the standing reach and the highest jump reach for each valid trial. EVOLVE subtracts standing reach from each jump reach, then selects the highest valid jump height as the primary result.

Performance Interpretation

Your result will appear here after completing the test.

Important: Jump height is the primary result. Any power estimate is only a field estimate and should not be treated as laboratory measurement. Use the same technique, equipment and testing conditions for progress tracking.

The Vertical Jump Test creates a repeatable lower-body power baseline that can eventually connect with athlete profiles, historical testing, training recommendations and long-term performance tracking.
