Description

Gulu and Akalan et al reported an equation for predicting peak power output by 12 to 14 year-old Turkish soccer players. The authors are from the Kinkkale University and Ankara University in Turkey.


Patient selection:Turkish soccer players, from 12 to 14 years of age

 

Testing: countermovement jumps (rapid downward movement followed by a rapid upward vertical movement)

 

Parameters:

(1) body weight in kilograms

(2) vertical jump distance in cm

 

peak power output in watts =

= (47.788 * (body weight)) + (58.976 * (jump distance)) - 1714.116
