A Novel Equation to Estimate Peak Power in Young Athletes

Expression of power in triple extension movements is a key to success in many sports. Although power can be measured directly with a force plate, several field equations using vertical jump height (VJ) and body mass (BM) have been developed to predict peak power. Generally, these previously publishe...

Description
Summary:Expression of power in triple extension movements is a key to success in many sports. Although power can be measured directly with a force plate, several field equations using vertical jump height (VJ) and body mass (BM) have been developed to predict peak power. Generally, these previously published equations were derived from relatively small numbers (N = 1 7 to 1 08) of adults with an average age of 22.0 years. Estimating power using these equations (N
