Why a Wrist-Worn Sensor Under-Reads Vertical Jump Height

A wrist-mounted jump sensor tracks your arm swing, not your center of mass, and that mismatch quietly shaves centimeters off every jump. Here is the fix.

How Arm Swing Inflates Your Jump Test Height (And How to Fix It)

Loose arm-swing rules can shift CMJ and squat jump height by several centimeters between sessions. Fix hand position so numbers reflect leg power, not arms.
