Vertical Jump Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the vertical jump height is:

\[ V = \left(\frac{P}{4 \times W}\right)^2 \]

Where:

Vertical Jump: The maximum height a person can jump, measured as the distance from their head at a standstill to their head at the maximum point of the jump.

Let's say your average power output while jumping is 1200 ft-lb/sec and your weight is 150 lbs. Using the formula:

\[ V = \left(\frac{1200}{4 \times 150}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{1200}{600}\right)^2 = 2^2 = 4 \, \text{ft} \]

So, the vertical jump height is 4 ft.
