Tuck Jump
Feet should be positioned shoulder width apart and the athlete will be asked to repeatedly jump for 10 seconds,
pulling their thighs up parallel to the ground, while the clinician scores the quality of the performance for each of
the 8 categories by circling a number on a scale from 0 (never) - 10 (always). The scores in each category are
summed to provide the total for the assessment (out of 80). Two trials can be performed (one viewing from the
front, one viewing from the side) to attain scores for all 8 categories. A horizontal line of tape can be used as the
target for jumping and landing in the same location.
Hop Tests x 4
General: Running shoes are to be worn.
