  Anyone who wants to participate, a quick and easy assessment test of glute/ quad dominance/movement efficiency. 


 step 1.  put a piece of tape down, around 12 inches in length

 step 2.  place your feet on the line, aligning the very middle of the foot with the middle of the tape

 step 3.  close your eyes, and perform a max effort svJ

 step 4.  do not move your feet from where you landed, take note of where in relation to the tape you were.  In front of, Behind, or right on, middle of foot right on center of tape.

 step 5.  post your results in this thread



 
Relax.

I'm Interested, it might help as a sprinter.

So Prof Lance  ;D  A Question

Is the Tape placed sideways and i should be facing perpendicular to the tape or in the same direction as the tape.

e.g. Tape> ------------------
          Face Up /\ on tape
          or face   > on tape

thanks

lol, its not only a quad/glute dominance deal, Ill explain more when you all post what happened  but its also simply correcting inefficient movement to create more efficient vertical forces, which will help your jumps out either way.
Relax.

I landed ~8 inches behind the starting position.  Kinda hoping this is a bad thing, so that it means I have something else that I can work on to improve my vert lol
Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

Is this supposed to be just a jump or a jump to a target (say to the rim)? Because if that's the case... you know... problems appear (where you put the tape vs. where the rim is etc). I think actually jumping towards a goal (rim) changes the mechanics a bit though (on the bright side of things).

Eyes closed mean you don't see the target  :P

I did it four times. First time i landed almost where i jumped from. Second time a little bit in the front 2 inches or so .  Third and fourth, almost in the same place i jumped from maybe 1 inch forward.

I closed my eyes jumped and my head hit the ring. Landed 10metres from where i was. But nah i actually lande an inch or two in front, didnt take note of sideways movement though. I'd say i jump more upright with eyes closed compared to eyes open. I tend to land 4-5inches in front.

Without shoes and jumping keeping hands at the side i landed mostly about 3 inches infront and one time i landed on the spot.
then i did it with intention of reaching high when jumping so jumping with one arm stretched up high i landed about 4-6 inches in front.

So what does the results mean.

  Ok good stuff guys, Ill talk more on what to do and what the results mean tomorrow.  very briefly, here is what each result CAN, AND IN MANY CASES DOES MEAN, NOTE IT DOESNT ALWAYS LINE UP, THE ARE OUTLIERS OF COURSE.

if you landed behind the line, quad dominance with incomplete hip extension. 

if you landed in front of the line, hip over dominance with incomplete knee extension/ not using the quads enough

if you landed right on the line, good alignment and little to no wasted forward/backward force.


usually the better leapers land right on the line, they are producing more purely vertical forces with less wasted movement.


Ill post some of the cues to help fix things if youre landing front/back tomorrow.
Relax.

In most SVJs i landed about 8'' ahead. Minimum was 5'' , maximum 12''.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?
