Description

Lara et al reported an equation for predicting peak power output by a college student during a vertical jump test. The authors are from the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo, Spain.


Patient selection:college student seeking a sports science degree, age 19+/- 2.9 years

 

Testing: vertical jump test

 

Parameters:

(1) body mass in kilograms

(2) vertical jump distance in cm

 

peak power output in watts =

= (50.3 * (weight)) + (62.5 * (jump distance)) - 2184.7
