Some guy's thesis for his master's @ WISC.



Analysis of power of various track & field athletes. Not a huge sample base, but whatever, still good information. Anyone have anything like this, but done with a larger sample? If so, please link it.

First, some nice preliminary info from the study, in case anyone needs clarification:

I just love the numbers on the long jumps (horizontal jumps). I think it's such an underrated way to train for your jumping height.

ya, that's why i like bounds (double or single leg).. i mean i don't have a sandpit and probably wouldn't like doing long jumps anyway, those landings seem nuts, but bounds do provide a very powerful "mainly-horizontal" emphasis.
