Drop JumpClinical

Plyometric test where the athlete steps off a box and immediately rebounds upward.

In a drop jump, the athlete drops from a fixed box height and performs a maximal rebound jump on landing, allowing measurement of jump height, contact time, and reactive strength index. It is a standard outcome in plyometric-training research and a common field test for monitoring reactive strength qualities.
