Last week I was tested with an digital platform and just got the results. Would someone help me with the interpretation of the last part? The result says that the ratio between squat jump and counter movement jump is too low (7%), thus indicating lack of good utilization of elastic or reactive forces but I am unable to interpret that correctly.

(in cm)

Single foot counter movement jumps:
L: 23.50
R: 22.12
diff 6%

Two footed cmj:
46.33

Addition of single foot c.m. jumps vs. two footed cmj:
45.62 / 46.33 = 1.5% difference

Abalakov: 57.89 cm (vert from standing)
Maximum: 58.84 cm (vert with 2 step approach) = 23.2 inches
Squat jump: 42.98 cm (from quarter squat w/o arms)
Rocket jump: 45.55 cm (from full squat w/o arms)

From continuous jumping testing:
Best ground contact time: 0.175s @ vj of 35.23cm
Optimum height for plyo work: 35.23cm
Squat jump / CMJ = 7%

Full squat (bellow parallel) 5RM: 85kg
Bodyweight: 73kg
Max power: 2156 Watts
Relative power: 29.6 Watts / kg

Given those numbers (specially best gtc 0.175) hould I focus more on weights or in plyos? I got lost in the part of the utilization of elastic forces (force application or max strength).

are these jumps with no arm movement? ie hands on hips?

The path to mastery will have many bumps in the road. Never lose sight of the goal. 8 metres.

Abalakov and maximum are done with help of the arms. Squat and “rocket” have no arm help.
