Test overview
The Countermovement Jump (CMJ) is arguably the most popular force plate test due to its wide range of applications and significant number of available metrics.
The CMJ can be easily used in:

A wide range of return-to-play scenarios.
The CMJ test in ForceDecks reports information on numerous phases and offers excellent asymmetry analysis.
The goal of the CMJ is to jump as high as possible.
