Running vertical jump: This refers to a vertical jump after a run up: the last step of the run is used to launch into the jump. This may help to add additional energy to the jump and improve on the standing vertical jump result. [2] In general, the standing vertical jump is the one that is used as an official measurement for athletes. [1]
The IAAF considers marks set at high altitude as acceptable for record consideration. However, high altitude can significantly assist long jump performances. At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Bob Beamon broke the existing record by a margin of 55 cm (21 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), and his world record of 8.90 m (29 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) stood until Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m (29 ft 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in ...
Empirical research published in 2011 found that the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle, and 3 cone drill tests have limited validity in predicting future NFL performance, suggesting that a prospect's past performance in college is a better indicator of future NFL performance than these physical ability tests.

What is an average vertical jump height for a 24 year old male? -The average vert of the nba is 28, average male 24 yr old would be around 20.2" "More efficient?"
In a jump from stationary (i.e., a standing jump), all of the work required to accelerate the body through launch is done in a single movement. In a moving jump or running jump, the jumper introduces additional vertical velocity at launch while conserving as much horizontal momentum as possible. Unlike stationary jumps, in which the jumper's ...
