Abstract
In this article, a new technique for estimation of explosive anaerobic leg power is proposed. The method relies on accurately measuring the time duration of muscular contraction and the time spent off the groun d while performing a vertical jump. Contribution of arms to leg power measurement is minimized by fixing arms at belt line during the test. Results from nine athletes are presented and discussed. A comparison w ith other methods is also discussed.
