In the world of jumping there are two distinct jump archetypes (Speed and Power). This relates primarily to the way in which an athlete uses either speed or relative power to influence maximal jump height. This video will show you how these exist on a spectrum vs. independent of one another.
If you find this information interesting, I would love if you'd feel comfortable sharing it. I have been working for the years in the field of jump technique to create a language and further understanding of otherwise more complicated topics.
Here are two distinct ways to determine what end of the spectrum you fall closer to:
1) Difference between countermovement (standing jump) and full approach jump. A full approach greater than 4" better than a CM effort indicates a more effective use of speed, whereas less than 4" shows a reliance upon relative power.
2) Degree of knee flexion - The greater the degree of flexion during the amortization (loading) of a take-off can be an indication of the necessity for relative power output.
NOTE: Just because an athlete displays qualities of one end of the spectrum DOES NOT mean they do not display qualities of the other end. This will simply help to identify the technical biases and therefore help determine training protocols moving forward.
