The Simplest Way to Measure One’s Verticle Leap

There are few ways which are used to measure a person’s verticle leap ability. The simplest way of measuring verticle leap is to make that person to reach up against a flat wall and noting down the highest point he/she can reach flat-footed (standing reach).

It goes like this. Make him/her stand on a flat surface like a gym floor or concrete floor. Now, tell that person to take many jumps from a standstill, marking off the highest point he/she can reach. After that, subtract the standing reach from the highest point. The difference of these two measurements is that person’s verticle leap.
