Testing for Muscular Power

One of the best and most common way to test for muscular power is the vertical jump test. The NFL uses the vertical jump test to test potential NFL drafts on their muscular power.

You can measure and record the best of 3 attempts on your stationary and maximum vertical jump.

To gauge on how good these results are, you can use the vertical jump calculator on http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/VerticalJump.html

Or alternatively, you may refer to this website for information
