Normative values for Sargeant Vertical Jump test in Indian Population aged 18 to 23 Years
Description
The Sargent Vertical Jump Test (VJT) is one of the widely used tests for the measurement of lower limb explosive power and anaerobic performance. Although it's used all over the world, till date there is no established “NORMATIVE VALUE FOR SARGENT VERTICAL JUMP TEST IN INDIAN POPULATION AGED 18 TO 23 YEARS”. This age group consists of college students and hence is an important group for fitness testing. While there are some international researches that have yielded norm values for vertical jumping performance, as with one for the Chinese, such values would not necessarily describe the physicality and performance capacities of Indian persons based on ethnic, environmental, and lifestyle disparities. Considering this deficiency, the current study proposes to derive normative values for the Sargent Vertical Jump Test particularly for Indian men and women between the ages of 18 and 23 years.
