Abstract

The article discusses a study which compares contact and photocell test mats in the validity and reliability of assessments of vertical countermovement jump heights estimated from flight time measurement. Correlation of statistics from testing of subjects on each type of map indicated that photocell mats produced more reliable jump height estimates for the evaluation of athletic lower limb muscle strength and power.
