How is Bosco Elasticity Index calulate in EzeJump

Modified on Thu, 5 Jun at 8:16 AM

The Bosco elasticity index measures an athlete's ability to utilize elastic energy during a jump. It's calculated by comparing the height of a countermovement jump (CMJ) with a squat jump (SJ). The formula is: ((CMJ - SJ) / CMJ) x 100. A higher elasticity index suggests greater reliance on elastic energy for jumping. Elasticity Index Calculation:

The formula ((CMJ - SJ) / CMJ) x 100 is used to calculate the elasticity index.

(CMJ - SJ): This difference represents the amount of jump height gained by utilizing elastic energy.
CMJ: This is the denominator, representing the total jump height.
x 100: This converts the result into a percentage.
