Analyze jumps with Jump Insights

Jump Insights read one athlete in one jump exercise. Open Labs → Insights → Jump, pick the athlete, then choose the Exercise and Period in Setup.

Heights follow your units; times are in milliseconds.

Countermovement or reactiveCopy Anchor Link

The page reads the exercise as reactive when it was recorded with the 10-5 protocol, or when at least half the jumps have a ground contact time. Otherwise it is a countermovement jump. This changes two labels:

Loaded and unloaded jumpsCopy Anchor Link

A loaded jump is lower and slower by itself. Development and Strategy therefore read only the unloaded jumps by default when there are any. Use Load to choose All loads, Unloaded, or a specific 5 kg band.

DevelopmentCopy Anchor Link

Set up:

• Measure: Height (default), or any measure with readings: flight time, contraction or contact time, RSI, RSI-mod, peak, relative, and average power, peak and relative force, force at peak velocity, impulses, and times to peak.
• Session value: Best jump (default) or Median jump. For times, best is the shortest.

Read:

• Tiles: Best session, Typical session (the median of the sessions’ values), Last session, and Volume (sessions and jumps).
• Timeline: one dot per session. The solid line is the best jump, the dashed line the median jump, and the band runs from the lowest to the highest jump. Time measures are drawn upside down so up is always better. Click a dot to open that session.
• Session, jump by jump: every jump of the session with its set, load, height, timing, ratio, and power.
• Sessions: every session with its sets, jumps, best, median, and median timing and ratio.

StrategyCopy Anchor Link

The period is cut into three by date, and the first third is compared with the last.

The notice gives the verdict:

• Jumps higher and moves faster
• Jumps higher, but with a slower movement (or a longer contact)
• Jumps lower, with a faster movement (or a shorter contact)
• Jumps lower and moves slower
• No relevant change between the first and the last third of the period: both changed less than 3 %.
• Fewer than 5 jumps in a third of the period: the first and last thirds each need five jumps. Thirds are by date, so uneven training can leave one short; widen the period.

Tiles give the change in height and in timing, from start to now. The Start against now chart plots every jump with height up and faster timing to the right, and an arrow from the median jump of the first third to that of the last. The upper-right quadrant is Higher and faster.

ReactiveCopy Anchor Link

Only sets recorded with the repeated-contacts (10-5) protocol count.

• By session: the chosen measure per session. Click a dot to open that session’s first set.
• Set, contact by contact: each contact of one set, with height, contact time, and RSI.
• Sets: every 10-5 set with contacts, score, contact time, height, retention, and CV of RSI.

“No 10-5 sets for this exercise in the period” means no set used that protocol. See Jump workouts.
