Vertical Jump Calculator with Weight and Height
Based on the search results provided, I can create a table comparing vertical jump performance across different groups, taking into account weight and height where available. Here's a summary of the data in table format:
| Group | Average Vertical Jump Height (inches) | Average Vertical Jump Height (cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Untrained Males | 18 | 45.72 | General population |
| Untrained Females | 14 | 35.56 | General population |
| Trained Males | 26 | 66.04 | Athletes or regularly trained individuals |
| Trained Females | 22 | 55.88 | Athletes or regularly trained individuals |
| Male Athletes (study) | - | 66.04 | From a study on martial arts athletes3 |
| Female Athletes (study) | - | 52.39 | From a study on martial arts athletes, 26% lower than males3 |
Additional notes:
- The study on martial arts athletes found that body fat percentage had a significant negative relationship with vertical jump height3.
- For every 1% decrease in body fat, vertical jump height increased by approximately 1%3.
- Weight alone did not have a significant effect on vertical jump performance in one study5.
- Height and weight combined reduced the correlation between different measurement methods (Vertec vs. jump mat) from 0.860 to 0.7355.
- These values are approximate and can vary depending on the specific population being tested and the testing protocol used2.
It's important to note that individual performance can vary significantly based on factors such as training status, body composition, and specific sport requirements. The table provides general averages and should be interpreted with these considerations in mind.
