How do you perform a vertical jump?

Answer 1

The long jump is an event in the sport of Track and Field. The measurement of the long jump is from the foul line to the nearest mark in the sand. This mark can be made from the uniform or any part of the body.

Answer 2

A vertical jump is how high you can jump (and reach) without a head start. To perform a vertical jump,

1. Get next to a wall.
2. Hold your arm as high as you can.
3. Jump straight up into the air
4. Repeat several times to get an accurate read.

Answer 3

You've got options here. There are devices, or you can use more rudimentary but still accurate mmethods. Basically you need the difference between your reach, and your highest touch. Different devices and a video on this can be found in the related link below.

Answer 4

There are a variety of ways to measure your vertical jump but they all use the same "formula."

Your highest reach subtracted by, your highest touch, equals your vertical jump.

So you need to know your standing reach, and have a method for marking your highest touch.

A Vertec is a commonly used apparatus that allows you to do both (see link for photo).

Electronic pads also measure vertical jump but do so by measuring time in the air, which is subject to error if knees are bent.

The best way to measure your vertical is by knowing your reach and measuring your highest touch.

Your jumping ability can change from day to day, so it is best to measure often to get an accurate reading.
