The vertical jump reach test is an objective functional test used by coaches, clinicians and strength and conditioning professionals (Waggener, Barfield and Sessoms, 2002). A large vertical jump relative to the individual is considered a valuable skill in high performance sports, including basketball, football, athletics and volleyball (Baker, 1996).
Several studies have been performed to compare the methods of measuring vertical jump heights. A study by Isaacs (1998) found a significant difference between measurements from a Vertec and force platform device. Another study by Garcia-Lopez et al. (2005) stated that it is necessary to declare which method is being used when comparing and analysing vertical jump performance.
