The jumpSIGMA index is a new approach to the Vertical Jump - Mechanical Power - Body Mass triad.
Based on this index, it is possible and practical to classify the performance of athletes in countermovement jumps (CMJ), adjusting the height of the jump according to body mass.
The most incredible thing is that this type of evaluation has 97% correspondence with the evaluation of the jump when the mechanical power measured in force platforms is used as a parameter.
Even if you are not an athlete, you can use your jumpSIGMA value to compare the height of your jump with the height that would be expected for athletes of the same body mass as you.
JumpSIGMA was developed based on the performance of:
• Athletes from different sports
• Male
• Ages between 20 and 40 years old
So, don't be surprised if your performance is lower than expected. However, if your jumpSIGMA indicates SUPERIOR or MIDDLE-SUPERIOR performance, congratulations, you are jumping like a true athlete.
