What are the most essential qualities of a high vertical jumper?

Horsepower and movement efficiency. Strength per pound of bodyweight is the horsepower…movement efficiency is how well you can carry out a movement. You put those 2 things together and they determine the height that you jump.

You need to be able to put out a lot of force relative to your bodyweight. In other words, you need strong legs! Your body structure influences how efficiently force gets transferred into the ground.

Movement efficiency has to do with coordination and your ability to carry out a movement optimally. In the case of the vertical jump it’s mainly impacted by body-fat and coordination with your feet. Imagine trying to jump with a 50 pound tub of lard strapped to your back and you can see how extra fat would negatively affect your vertical jump. On the “feet” end, many people lack coordination on their feet and wear shoes that are too big and cumbersome for them to ever get light on their feet.
