A maximum of the four trials recorded was the dependent variable. Each vertical jump was simultaneously evaluated by each measuring device and a paired t test indicated the systems were significantly different; however, the experiment wise difference of .93 in has no practical value. The Just Jump System seems a viable alternative. Advantages and potential pitfalls regarding the use of each system are discussed.Read More
