New method for estimating explosive anaerobic leg power.
In this article, a new technique for estimation of explosive anaerobic leg power is proposed. The method relies on accurately measuring the time duration of muscular contraction and the time spent off the ground while performing a vertical jump. Contribution of arms to leg power measurement is minimized by fixing arms at belt line during the test. Results from nine athletes are presented and discussed. A comparison with other methods is also discussed.
