How to use this calculator
- Jump as high as you can from standing.
- Enter flight time from an app, or standing and jump reach.
- See jump height and power.
How it works
Jump height from flight time uses h = g x t squared / 8. Peak power uses the Sayers equation (60.7 x height in cm + 45.3 x body mass minus 2055). Norms are rough guides for recreational adults.

Physiotherapy treatment
Lower limb strength and power assessment is the core of physiotherapy for sports performance. After an assessment, your physiotherapist sets a plan built around squat, jump progression and plyometric work when appropriate, progressed as your results improve. Hands-on treatment, pain relief and education are added where they help.
