The Single-Legged Timed Side Hop Function Test assesses repeated side-to-side hopping speed and control on one leg. It is useful for monitoring lateral hop capacity and side-to-side function.
Introduction
A client may feel confident in straight-line running but hesitate with repeated lateral hoppi...
The Square Hop Test assesses lower-limb agility, power and neuromuscular control by asking the client to hop around a square pattern on one leg.
Introduction
Sport requires repeated direction changes, not just straight hops. The Square Hop Test challenges a client to hop accurately and quickly thr...
The Vertical Jump Test measures lower-body explosive power by recording jump height. It is useful for assessing jump performance, monitoring training response and tracking readiness.
Introduction
A client may improve lower-limb strength, but does that strength transfer into explosive vertical powe...
The Vertical Hop Test measures single-leg vertical power and landing control. It is useful for side-to-side comparison and monitoring lower-limb rehabilitation or performance progress.
Introduction
A two-leg vertical jump can hide side-to-side differences. The Vertical Hop Test helps assess how ea...
The Broad Jump Test measures horizontal lower-body power by recording how far a client can jump from a standing start. It is useful for assessing explosive power and tracking training progress.
Introduction
Some athletes need horizontal power more than vertical power. The Broad Jump Test gives pro...
The Drop Jump Test assesses reactive strength by measuring how quickly and powerfully a client rebounds after dropping from a box. It is useful for plyometric readiness and monitoring stretch-shortening cycle performance.
Introduction
An athlete may jump high, but reactive sport movement often dep...
The Drop Hop Test assesses single-leg reactive power and landing control after dropping from a height. It can help monitor unilateral plyometric readiness and side-to-side performance.
Introduction
Bilateral drop jumps can hide limb differences. The Drop Hop Test increases demand by requiring the ...
The Medial Triple Hop Test assesses repeated single-leg hopping toward the midline. It measures frontal-plane power, dynamic balance and landing control across three consecutive hops.
Introduction
A client may perform well in forward power tests but lose control when moving medially. The Medial Tr...
The Triple Hop Test measures single-leg horizontal power and repeated hop control across three consecutive hops. It is commonly used in lower-limb rehabilitation and performance testing.
Introduction
One good hop does not always mean a client can repeat force production safely. The Triple Hop Test...
The Lateral Hop Test assesses single-leg hop performance away from the body’s midline. It is useful for monitoring lateral power, landing control and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
A client may perform well in forward hopping but struggle to control lateral movement. The Lateral Hop Test p...
The Medial Hop Test assesses single-leg power and control while hopping toward the midline. It is useful for monitoring lateral-plane lower-limb function and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
Many injuries and sport tasks challenge the body in the frontal plane. A forward hop may look strong,...
The Anterior Hop Test measures single-leg forward hop distance and landing control. It is useful for assessing lower-limb power, side-to-side performance and confidence during a simple horizontal hop task. The result should be interpreted with movement quality, pain, strength and related functional ...
