Standing Vertical Jump Baseline
Standing vertical jump baseline is a no-step power test before plyo blocks—isolates leg drive changes separate from approach jump technique.
A standing vertical jump baseline is a no-step countermovement jump measured before a plyometric block or preseason—pure leg and trunk power without approach coordination. It isolates changes from strength work versus technique tweaks in approach jumps.
Use the same warmup, surface, and trial count each test. Large drops after tournament weeks often reflect fatigue, not lost fitness.
Common questions
-
Why test standing jump if games use approach jumps?
Standing scores track raw leg power when approach technique is stable—useful when run-up rhythm changes but strength work should still show up in the baseline.
