SJ and IMTP
The Static SJ-IMTP is an accurate and reliable measure of an athlete’s Dynamic Strength Index but it can be problematic to conduct.
Vertec Jump Test
The Vertec device is a simple-to-use, inexpensive, and portable device which can measure an athlete’s vertical jump height.
Squat Jump
The squat jump is a simple, practical and very reliable measure of lower-body power, and is used widely by coaches and sports scientists.
Dynamic Strength Index
The dynamic strength index can show if an athlete requires maximal strength training, ballistic strength training, or concurrent training.
Countermovement Jump (CMJ)
The countermovement jump (CMJ) is a simple, practical, valid, and very reliable measure of lower-body power.
1RM (one-repetition maximum) Testing
The 1RM test is often considered as the ‘gold standard’ for assessing the strength capacity of individuals in non-laboratory environments.
Incremental DJ-RSI test
The Incremental Drop Jump Reactive Strength Index (DJ-RSI) Test is a valid and reliable measure of jumping ability, but is inherently flawed.
