Power is the speed at which you exert force. For example, this is what makes sprinters shoot out of the blocks. To make optimal use of your capacity, all your muscle fibers must be used together.
With the broad jump test from a standstill you can assess your explosive power.
How to perform the broad jump test?
- Before performing the broad jump test, it is important to warm up.
- Stand with both feet behind a marker on the ground. Place your feet slightly apart and your toes just behind the line.
- Jump forward as far as possible with both feet together.
- You can greatly increase your explosiveness by first slightly bending your knees and swinging your arms when you straighten up explosively.
- Make sure you don’t fall backwards on landing.
- Mark on the ground where both your feet landed and draw a line at the back of the foot.
- Measure the length of your jump between the two lines.
- You can repeat this test several times and use the score of your best jump.
- Compare your best result in the table below.
