| Landmark | Description |
| Start of Movement | Point where a 20N threshold is exceeded. |
| Start of Max. RFD | Point of steepest concentric force. |
| End of Max. RFD | Peak take-off force. |
| Peak Take-off Force | Highest force value obtained during the jump. |
| Take-off | Point where force is below 30N. |
| Landing | Point where force rises above 30N. |
| Peak Landing Force | Highest force obtained during landing phase. |
The key phases of a Squat Jump are:
| Phase | Description |
| Weighing Phase | Steady phase for weight to be recorded. |
| Concentric Phase | Zero velocity until take-off. |
| Flight Phase | From take-off until landing. |
| Landing Phase | Point where force rises above 30N and settles back to bodyweight. |
