Vertical jump

The vertical jump measurement test is designed to measure an athlete's ability to perform powerfully. The measurement method seen here is an improved version of the chalk on finger method. The device used is known as a vertical jump tester.

A vertical jump or vertical leap is the act of jumping upwards into the air. It can be an exercise for building both endurance and strength, and is also a standard test for measuring athletic performance.[1] It may also be referred to as a Sargent jump, named for Dudley Allen Sargent.
