TIMY3 – Jumping
Page 6
The jump is executed from a squatting position standing on a contact mat. The arms are
placed parallel to the body and should not be actively involved during the movement. The goal
is to jump as high as possible and to land again on the contact mat. As a performance index of
the jump, the height is measured.
1. Select with <F1> the software “Squat”
2. The display shows “NOT READY, Squat Jump”
3. Input an ID-number for the athlete and confirm it with key <OK>
4. Display shows “WAITING FOR JUMPER …”
5. Athlete steps on contact mat; upper and lower leg have a 90 degree angle; hands on the
hip. The jump starts from this position.
6. Athlete jumps as high as he can.
7. The TIMY3 measures the time that the athlete is in the air and outputs the height in cm.

4.2 Counter Movement Jump
The counter movement jump is used in sports science for jump analysis. It helps to test the
ability of concentric force of jump muscles (a backswing (down) is allowed). The measurement
is the same as for squat jump but the movement of the athlete is different.
In this case, the jump is normally designed from the base position standing on a contact mat;
the arms are placed on the hips and should not be involved in the backswing. The goal is to
jump as high as possible and land again on the contact mat. As a performance index of the
jump the height is measured.
1. Athlete steps onto contact mat; hands on the hip; standing upright. The jump starts from
this position.
2. In one motion, the athlete goes into a squat and uses this counter movement to then jump
as high as he can.
3. The TIMY3 measures the fly time and outputs the height in cm.
4.3 Drop Jump
The drop jump is a used in sports science for jump analysis. It helps to test the force capability
including the reactive power capability of the jump muscles.
Normally, the jump is executed from a defined height (approx. 30 cm); the arms are parallel to
the body and have no active part in the movement. The athlete jumps on the ground (contact
mat) and then tries to jump as high as possible and lands again on the contact mat. As a per-
formance index of the jump, the height is measured.
