Explosive lower body strength test (CMJ)

Explosive lower body strength is assessed by performing a number of countermovement jumps on a dynamometric plate. The type of plate used can be operated both in the lab or transported to the training field and provides very accurate measurements of the strength, height and power of the vertical jump. Moreover, it is also possible to measure lower limbs imbalances during the push-off phase of the jump, highlighting athletes with a higher injury risk.
