1. Vertical Jump
5,840 watts
Vertical Jump:
Body Mass (kg): 79 kg
Standing Reach Height (in.): 94 inches
Record to the nearest 0.5 inch:
Attempt #1 (in.): 115 inches
Attempt #2 (in.): 120 inches
Attempt #3 (in.): 122 inches
The vertical jump is recorded as the difference between the best jump height and reach
height
Vertical Jump = Best jump (in.) – standing reach height (in.) = ___ in.
Vertical Jump = 122 (in.) – 94 inches = 28 in.
Convert to Power:
Note: Jump height converted to cm (in. * 2.54 = cm) and Body Mass to kg (lbs. *0.454 = kg):
28 inches = 71.12 cm
175 lbs = 79 kg
Peak power (Watts) = [60.7 × (Jump Height [cm]) + 45.3 × (Body Mass [kg]) – 2,055]
Peak power (Watts) = [60.7 × (71.12) + 45.3 × (79) – 2,055]
= 5,840 watts
