Prediction of high jump results for kinesiology students

The salient feature of jumping disciplines is the successful transformation of horizontal velocity into a good long jump or high jump. In long jump that horizontal velocity is transformed into a horizontal – vertical component, while in high jump the same velocity is transformed into a vertical component aided by centrifugal force generated through motion in the curve-like phase of approach to the bar. In high jump, as in other similar track and field disciplines, there is constant need to create new specific tests for jumping ability that can be better result predictors. The purpose of this study is to create a test for specific jumping ability and explosive strength jumping ability for high jump athletes. The goal was also to establish the general and individual influence of basic and specific tests on the prediction of high jump results.
