Loden Sports Involvement at the Governor’s Challenge
At the Governor’s Challenge, Loden Sports debuted the Loden Sports Performance Lab App and offered vertical jump testing to participating athletes. Hundreds of male and female athletes jumped over the course of the three days of the Loden Sports Lab. Athlete’s that broke the 30 inch barrier on their vertical received a Loden Sports hat and all participants got hooked up with stickers.
How does it work?
Where arm and leg length can influence jump height when using a whirly bird and technique can manipulate hang-time on a jump mat, the Loden Sports Performance Lab App provides a true representation of an athlete’s jump height. By tracking the athlete’s center of mass, the only way for an athlete to register a greater jump height is to actually jump higher.
It is important for coaches and players to understand that measuring jump height using different methods produces different results.
