          Does anyone have historical test results from elite/emerging elite male LJ/TJ/HJ athletes for this test?  I have tons of female data and almost no male results.

          For both men and women I've always found it matches up nearly perfectly with TJ performance.

          I've always had very good corelation with TJ and women, but I was not sure about men.  I hope it holds true here.  We jumped 16.48 and 16.36 yesterday!

          How exactly do you perform (being) this test?  I saw one of the USATF tapes (track-tech) that included a SLJ,R,R,L,L drill which they said correlated well to TJ performance.  Are you speaking of the same thing?

          Two footed start, land R, land R, land L, land L, land sand.

          Thanks.  I did that test a year or so back and did almost 14m.  Unfortunately I'm lucky to jump 12m in a meet.  Handling speed is very difficult for me.

          It tends not to too correlate as well with LJers / sprinters who don't practice the event. I think it's probably a good indication of 'what could be' possible. Kinda like OHB for throwing the shot put.

          When you say l,l,r,r,sand you are measuring from the two footed start to the heels in the sand?  Thanks

          dang.

          i did 15.90 at practice right after we tested the STJ (went 9.89) and SLJ (went 3.27)

          my coach said this equates to a 14.70ish TJ

          my understand is it isnt exact but u can use charts for it

          well, with tjers the double double usually is less than what he/she triple jumps by a little bit….

          could this be done as a prewarmup plyo work prior to speed sessions for a short sprinter?

          I don't see why not. Coach Shaver gives athletes the option of doing Multi-jumps in the warmup. Most choose not to do them but I could see they would serve the same role as some short accelerations. The only issue might be finding an open pit to do them in to. You wouldn't want to do these landing on a track.

          Is this how Shaver always does their multi jumps, during the WU?  How often do the sprinters do multi jumps?

          Sorry should have clarified…..I meant competition warmup…and yes they have the option to do it there as well.

          I think they do MJs 2-3x per week.

          I have found this test to not always be an accurate predictor.  I think a lack of elastic qualities necessitated for triple jumping can be overcome by greater static strength qualities.

          Barto, email me I'd like to see your data and give you what I have for males.
