At Hawkin Dynamics we give you options when designing your testing protocol. Not only do we offer multiple tests such as the CMJ, SJ, isometric test, drop jump, and reactive tests. We also offer easy selection of metrics so that you can see (or not see 👀) the metrics you want

Impulse Ratio is a metric that serves it’s purpose in helping a coach understand how an athlete transfers energy ⚡️ from the Braking phase of the Countermovement Jump to the Propulsive phase (I.e. push-off) prior to flight

Strategy matters. For some athletes a high #RFD may not result in the highest possible output. Context is king - when/how are key components of why in so many cases. This is why we stress our users to test consistently (also - do not use bouncy rubber mats under your plates!)

Jump mats are a great way to get started testing jumps, but they have limitations. Using flight-time to estimate jump height can be unreliable, but more than that, you might not be getting the full picture..

Stiffness is a great metric and very simple to understand. Force at the lowest point of the countermovement (point of zero velocity) divided by the displacement at the lowest moment (in meters) - very sensitive to shifts in strategy.

Changing jump strategy can dramatically impact output - but for the better? Higher RFD sure sounds good but does it actually result in a higher jump? Depends on the athlete, of course.
