HOW VERTICAL JUMP TRAINERS WORK

Vertical jump training equipment assists an athlete to help him or her apply more force to the ground in a shorter amount of time. Here’s how vertical jump test equipment works to improve an athlete’s power output by building up strength and force:

1. Standing height is measured as an athlete stands with hands extended equally above the head.
2. The vertical jump trainer is raised into position to measure jump reach.
3. The athlete jumps, moving vanes to the side.
4. The Reset Tool aligns dislodged vanes for a clean target.
5. The athlete attempts additional jumps to move more vanes to the side.
