Workout Description
Maximum distance jumped horizontally from a standing position, measured in inches.
Why This Workout Is Easy
Basic test of horizontal explosive power.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): A direct measure of lower body explosive power applied horizontally. The goal is to generate maximal forward force from a static start.
- Speed (5/10): Speed of muscle contraction and coordinated arm swing contribute to the power generated for the jump.
- Strength (3/10): Leg strength (quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves) and core strength contribute to generating force for a maximal horizontal jump.
- Flexibility (2/10): Good hip and ankle flexibility can aid in achieving an optimal take-off and landing position.
- Endurance (1/10): Minimal cardiovascular demand. Pure test of explosive horizontal power from a standing position.
- Stamina (1/10): Not a stamina test. Focus is on a single maximal effort jump for distance.
Modality Profile
Similar to a max height jump, it blends a monostructural jump with a gymnastic expression of horizontal power.
