Jump Testing with Enode
If you have an Enode sensor and a hip belt, you can perform jump testing.
As standard, there are 3 jumps in the exercise library: Counter movement Jump, Drop Jump, and Squat Jump. To perform jumps, the sensor should be placed in the pocket of the hip belt and secured with the sensor placed at the side of the hip.
Jump-specific metrics are available when using the sensor, including Reactive Strength Index (RSI), jump height and contact time. You can also create your own jump exercises using the exercise creation tool, and we encourage you to do so if you have different protocols when performing jumps. For example, if you test with hands placed on the hips and then the same jump using arm propulsion, these jumps will most likely vary dramatically, so it would be best to create a variation for these differences.
The system will expect certain behaviour when performing each of the jump exercises, especially when it comes to the squat jump. A squat jump requires the athlete have a short pause in the squat position before performing the jump.
