The standing vertical jump is an important measure of an athlete's explosive power and a critical test in the NFL Combine. So who jumps the highest? And what's the limit? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez jumps in to examine the physics and physicality of maximum leaping ability.

    • It's very different than running which is endurance so your body needs to have muscles that are designed to be better at specific applications. It's why someone with a grip strength of 200lbs isn't as fast at clicking a key as someone who plays videogames professionally. It's radically different applications where people's bodies have radically different adaptations.

  • Notice how much deeper the jumper is in his squat before he ascends Vs the non jumper. This also helps because it takes him past the “sticking point” or 90 degrees, which in turn activates his patella reflex, which assists in knee extension.

  • At the 5:40 mark; It’s actually about the speed in which you go down aswell. In order to jump Higher your over all amplitude must be as explosive as possible. Meaning when you start at 0 Position and go down to -10 then push yourself up to +20. The faster you can do this the Higher you jump.

    • People want to be one trick ponies for some reason. They aren't even real box jumps either. You're supposed to start on top of the box, jump back off the box, strike the ground and rebound back onto the box where you started. With a smaller box you can do high repetitions of this nonstop and properly develop the achilles tendon so that it can absorb more impact upon landing, making for much faster and safer 'realistic' running and jumping movements. This guy will likely have shot knees in his future because of not doing this kind of training and all the super deep knee bends required to do what he does.

    • This is indeed far too dangerous to be a thing that people in general to be doing, let alone honing in on and being the complete focus of their training. His jump is quite impressive, but there is hardly any other competition out there for this kind of thing. A regular no step or max vert is much more realistic for showing athletic ability.

  • i’ve been watching people say muscles cause you to jump high. it’s actually your tendons and ligaments… look at michael jordan’s patellar tendon it’s huge. every high jumper has an exceptionally large patellar tendon compared to other people. tendons act as rubber band and the thicker the rubber band the stronger the elastic energy AKA the jump. muscles just let us move but it doesn’t give us the athletic elastic energy.

    @JifeLacket@JifeLacket2 жыл бұрын
    • That’s because athletes train box jumps to improve their athletic performance. No athletic endeavour I can think of requires you to leap and land in a full squat, hence you don’t see athletes doing it. These box jump records are impressive, but they are more reliant on achieving high degrees of hip flexion at the peak height than increasing jumo performance as relative to sports.

    • Some people just have a higher density of fast twitch muscles then others. People with more fast twitch muscles are generally capable of generating more explosive sudden bursts of strength than most with less fast twitch muscles. Most power athletes have more fast twitch than the average human. Also someone can’t raise their ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch. It’s something you are genetically prone to. I think that’s what he was trying to say.
