Equations of Johnson and Bahamonde for Predicting Power Output During a Vertical Jump

 

Subjects: male and female college athletes

 

Parameters:

(1) body weight in kilograms

(2) height in centimeters

(3) vertical jump height in centimeters

 

peak mechanical power in watts =

= (78.5 * (vertical jump height in cm)) + (60.6 * (body mass in kilograms)) - (15.3 * (height in centimeters)) - 1308

 

average mechanical power in watts =

= (41.4 * (vertical jump height in cm)) + (31.2 * (body mass in kilograms)) - (13.9 * (height in centimeters)) + 431

 

where:

• The best model values in Table 4 (average power) for height and mass are the same as for Table 3 and do not match the formulas on page 163.
