Using a sample of healthy youth (n = 466, 10 to 18 yr), we report the predictive utility of vertical jump power (VJ Power, W) for predicting bone strength. We measured VJ Power using mechanography and an indicator of bone strength, i.e., height-adjusted total bone mineral content less head (TBLH BMC, g), using DXA. Growth curve models were used to…

Mahar, Matthew T.; Welk, Gregory J.; Janz, Kathleen F.; Laurson, Kelly; Zhu, Weimo; Baptista, Fatima – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
Incorporation of the vertical jump (VJ) test in health-related fitness batteries is predicated on the availability of prediction equations to accurately estimate VJ power. The purpose was to develop and validate a generalizable equation to estimate VJ power from VJ height, body mass, age, and sex in 10- to 18-year-olds. The sample (N = 529)…

Janz, Kathleen F.; Baptista, Fatima; Ren, Sicong; Zhu, Weimo; Laurson, Kelly R.; Mahar, Matthew T.; Pavlovic, Andjelka; Welk, Gregory J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
This study summarized protocols in the "Lisbon Study for the Development and Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Fitness Standards in Youth" and assessed associations between fitness assessments and health outcomes. The sample was 529 children and adolescents (10 to 18 yr). The fitness assessments included handgrip, vertical jump, long jump,…
