About This Calculation
Biomechanical Significance of Jump Power
Vertical jump displacement evaluates the impulse generated against the ground relative to body mass. Sayers validated regression formula (Peak Power = 60.7 × Jump Height (cm) + 45.3 × Mass (kg) - 2055) demonstrates strong correlations with dual-force-plate peak mechanical output.
Limitations & Context
Jump height measurements derived from flight time require athletes to maintain identical hip and ankle geometry at takeoff and landing.
