Troubleshooting Jump Sensor Overreads on Soft Surfaces: Mats, Turf, and the Contact-Delay Fix
Jump sensor overread on mats and turf comes from delayed ground contact detection. See the mechanism, real research, surface risk table, and a calibration fix.
Springboard Diving Takeoff Power Test: A Dryland Protocol for the Hurdle Step's Drive
Can't put a force plate under a diving board? Measure takeoff power with a dryland jump test, real board biomechanics research, and power benchmarks.
Abalakov Jump Test: Arm-Swing Vertical Jump Protocol
Step-by-step Abalakov jump test protocol, arm-swing technique cues, how it compares to a standard CMJ, and normative data by athlete level
Band-Assisted Jumps: Overspeed Training for Takeoff Velocity
Stuck at the same vertical for months? Overhead bands pull you through takeoff at speeds you cannot produce alone, breaking the ceiling strength work missed.
Sport-Specific Power Testing for Basketball Players: Protocols, Norms, and Programming
One vertical jump number will not tell you if a player is game-ready. Covers jump, sprint, change-of-direction tests, RSI norms, and a testing plan.
How to Run Accurate Vertical Jump Testing
Bent knees or arm swing variance can shift your CMJ number by centimeters. Get the standardized setup, warm-up, and norm tables that remove the guesswork.
How to Train for Vertical Jump Improvement
Vertical jump stalls when strength, plyometrics, and tracking aren't sequenced. An 18-week guide layers strength work, contrast loading, and IMU jump data.
Volleyball Vertical Jump Program: 12-Week Progression
Gain 7-12cm on your vertical in 12 weeks with a phased strength, power, and reactive plyometric program, including weekly CMJ testing and load management.
How to Test Vertical Jump Properly
Standardized CMJ and squat jump protocols, an equipment comparison, common sources of measurement error, and the norms to judge your result against.
