The Countermovement Jump (CMJ) is arguably the most popular force plate test due to its wide range of applications and significant number of available metrics. 

The CMJ can be easily used in: 

  • Athlete profiling; 
  • Fatigue and adaptation monitoring; and 
  • A wide range of return-to-play scenarios.
