Reliability and validity of My Jump 2^® app to measure the vertical jump in visually impaired five-a-side soccer athletes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although My Jump 2 ^® consistently presented excellent values of reliability and validity when compared to force platforms (FPs) and contact mats, to date no scientific investigation assessed the validity and reliability of My Jump 2 ^® to measure jump height in visually impaired five-a-side soccer athletes. Thus, the study aimed at analyzing the validity and reliability of the My Jump 2^® to measure the vertical jump of five-a-side soccer athletes.

Methods

Twelve visually impaired five-a-side soccer athletes, volunteered for this study. Each player performed five countermovement jumps (CMJs) and squat jumps (SJs) on a contact platform (CP) while they were simultaneously recorded using My Jump 2
