If Julian jumps 35 cm and weighs 100 kg, what would happen to his power output if he were to do each of the following?
Formula |
Power |
↑2 kg |
↑2 kg ↓ 2 cm |
↓2 kg ↑1 cm |
Lewis equation (W) |
1310 |
|||
Sayers equation (W) |
4600 |
|||
Harman peak power (W) |
7589 |

Harman average power (W) |
1649 |
Explain how body weight and jump height interact to impact power output.
Ans: The calculations of power output in all three situations of jumps is tabulated below:
Formula | Power | ↑2 kg | ↑2 kg ↓ 2cm | ↓2 kg ↑1 cm |
Lewis equation (W) | 1310 | 1336 | 1273 | 1277 |
Sayers equation (W) | 4600 | 4690 | 4569 | 4570 |
Harman peak power (W) | 7589 | 7661 | 7537 | 7579 |
Harman average power (W) | 1649 | 1695 | 1653 | 1624 |
By compairing the above power output values in different conditions of body mass and jump height, the following outcomes generated as:
Above all, changes in body mass makes a greater impact on power output as compared to changes in jump height.
