Jumping Power: Females, Age 55-59

Page updated: Evidence reviewed: What this means

What these numbers mean

A value around 1.9 kW is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Scores above about 2.2 kW fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 1.6 kW fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population scored higher.

These percentiles come from a two-leg countermovement jump on a Leonardo Mechanograph force plate, which derives peak power from the recorded ground reaction forces. Power is reported in kilowatts and is not scaled to body size, so larger people tend to produce more. The study authors note the survey's health focus may have recruited fitter children and adolescents.
