Vertical Jump: Females, Age 65-69

Page updated: Evidence reviewed: What this means

What these numbers mean

A value around 21.1 cm is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Scores above about 24.1 cm fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 18.1 cm fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population scored higher.

These percentiles come from a countermovement jump on a Leonardo Mechanograph force plate, which derives height from the ground reaction forces during the push-off. Field jump-and-reach results, such as a Vertec or Sargent test, are not interchangeable with them. The study authors note the survey's health focus may have recruited fitter children and adolescents.
