Abstract

The vertical jump is a fundamental quality for athlets, especially in volleyball, handball or basketball. Several tests and evaluatin systems can be deployed to assess this quality. The aim of this experiment was to check the validity of the Myotest for measuring vertical jump tests. The experiment involves comparing two measuring systems to measure vertical movement during squaat jumps (SJ) and reactivity test. The example was consisted of 30 athlets (6 volleyball players and 24 handball players). Each subject was evaluated randomly by means of rhe two tests. Myotest and Ergojump were used. The jump height comparison gained from the Myotest and the Ergojump did not show any significant differences. This difference was approx. 3 cm. Therefore, the Myotets appears to be an efficient tool for evaluating performance during the vertical jump test
