any good pre-testing exercises to maximise your results

Does any one know any good pre-testing exercises to do; exercises you do before you test your vertical jump or sprint times or broad jump measurements.

testing vertical or broad jump
i was thinking maybe doing something like stretching hip flexors, light dynamic warmup like skips and then do low set and low reps i.e. Wighted Squat Jumps 2x6-8/3'
etc

for sprint testing something like
doing sprint drills after warmup and stretches

walking lunges

a good pre testing workout to maximise the results you get.

Thanks
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
