Abstract

Researchers and practitioners have highlighted the necessity to monitor jump strategy metrics as well as the commonly reported outcome measures during the countermovement (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ) tests. However, there is a risk of confusion for practitioners, given the vast range of metrics that now seem to be on offer via analysis software when collecting data from force platforms. As such, practitioners may benefit from a framework that can help guide metric selection for commonly used jump tests, which is the primary purpose of this article. To contextualise the proposed framework, we have provided two examples for how this could work: one for the CMJ and one for the DJ, noting that these tests are commonly utilized by practitioners during routine testing across a range of sport performance and clinical settings.
