Vertec Jump Reach
Compute Vertec vertical-jump height from standing reach and highest touch.
Description
Reach-based vertical-jump height subtracts standing reach from highest touch.
Reach-based vertical-jump height subtracts standing reach from highest touch. The comparison requires the same reach convention for both measurements.1
Compute Vertec vertical-jump height from standing reach and highest touch.
When to use Vertec Jump Reach
Use this tool to compute Vertec vertical-jump height from standing reach and highest touch.
Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
How to use Vertec Jump Reach and understand its results
- Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
- Enter standingReachCm, highestTouchCm using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read jumpHeightCm, jumpHeightM. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| standingReachCm | Standing reach cm | number | Required |
| highestTouchCm | Highest touch cm | number | Required |
Enter nonnegative standing reach and touch no lower than standing reach. Return cm and m, including zero-height equality.
heightCm=highestTouch−standingReach; heightM=heightCm/100 Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| jumpHeightCm | Jump height cm | number |
| jumpHeightM | Jump height m | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Arm technique and measurement validity are not checked. This differs from ballistic flight-time inference.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Flight Time Jump Height: Infer ballistic jump height from flight time and supplied gravitational acceleration. For a complementary task, use Sayers Vertical Jump Power: Estimate vertical-jump peak power with the published Sayers regression.
