Single Leg Vertical Jump

Why it matters for skiing

Skiing is a one leg sport, and if one leg produces more power than the other, that weaker side is where you tire first, where your technique breaks down, and where injuries tend to happen. This tests each leg separately so you can see your imbalance and know where to put in work before the season. The value isn't just the height, it's the left to right comparison.

How to do it

1. 1+Stand on one leg, load down and jump for max height
2. 2+Land soft on the same leg under control
3. 3+Test each leg separately and compare the two
4. 4+Note the difference between your stronger and weaker side
5. 5+Max height per leg
