Cross-validation of three jump power equations
Article Abstract:
A new regression equation based on the squat jump procedure, a measure of athletic ability, may be superior to other formulas. Researchers compared the two equations put forward by Lewis and Harman et aliter by testing the jump power of 59 male and 49 female college students using different protocols. The recommended equation reads as follows: Peak Power (W) = 60.7 x (jump height [cm]) + 45.3 x (body mass [kg]) - 2055.

Evaluation of power prediction equations: Peak vertical jumping power in women
Article Abstract:
An investigation is conducted to compare actual peak power to estimated values derived from three different prediction equations (Sayers and Harman), to determine the ability of the prediction formulas to monitor change following 6 wk of plyometric training, and to generate a new regression model. Changes in peak power are found to be accurate using any of the regression equations.

Is vertical jump height a body size-independent measure of muscle power?
Article Abstract:
A study aims to test a hypothesis that whether the performance of rapid movements represents body size-independent measure of muscle power. Results reveal that hypothesis is supported when the measurements of muscle strength and power are properly normalized for body size.
