Leg power and jumping universal statistic

(1/4) > >>

Nightfly:
I'm wandering has anybody studied the correlation between leg strength and jumping ,statistically across the planet, and let's say what percent of the people in the world have a 40 inch and bigger vert? I'm really curios about this

Raptor:
I don't think that's the case... I don't think this exists. Your best bet is to increase your strength since it's the most modifiable quality in terms of athleticism (your structure stays fixed, your explosiveness in terms of quickness is pretty much genetic with a very low training gain threshold). You can only really affect strength and movement efficiency to improve your athleticism. Well, that and bodyfat %.

It's hard to make a direct correlation because of biodiversity and other factors involved, like the ones above. But I think it's safe to say that unless you squat 2x+, your strength will be a limiting factor.

If that kind of answers the question.

Nightfly:
I understand this, but i'm curious if someone did a paper on this, and how it influences people around the world. Also i would like to see a percantage based vert like: 10 inches - 50% of the people 20 inches- 30% 30 inches 15% and so on

Raptor:
I don't think that's ever been done. Too much info needed for an "unimportant" subject at the planetary level.

vag:
oh come ooon , just google some relative phrases , search through the results and you'll find stuff...

here's what i got with just 1 try and no searching at all...
