What is a Vertical Jump Test?

The Vertical Jump Test is a performance assessment used to measure lower-body explosive power and neuromuscular efficiency. It evaluates how effectively an individual can generate force through the legs, hips, and core to produce vertical lift.

This test is widely used in sports science to assess athletic potential, power output, and overall performance capacity in activities that require speed, strength, and explosiveness.
