Boost Your Gymnast's Explosive Strength with the Standing Long Jump!
Discover the Power of the Standing Long Jump for Your Child's Fitness Journey. As a parent, you want the best for your child's health and well-being. That's why I'm excited to introduce you to the incredible benefits of the standing long jump test! Not only is it a fun and engaging activity, but it also serves as a powerful tool to assess your child's leg explosive strength.
Assess Your Child's Leg Strength with Confidence.
Wondering how your child's leg strength measures up? Look no further! Here you'll find the actual norms for the standing long jump test. These norms provide you with a clear understanding of where your child stands in comparison to their peers of the same age and gender. It's an invaluable resource that empowers you to make informed decisions about your child's fitness journey.
Set Goals and Track Progress.
Armed with the knowledge of your child's lower-body explosive strength, you can set realistic goals and track their progress over time. Whether your child is just starting their gymnastics journey or already excelling in it, the standing long jump can be a great indicator of their overall physical fitness. By incorporating this exercise into your child's routine, you're not only improving their physical fitness but also enhancing their overall athletic abilities.
What are normative reference values?
These values are numbers from 1 to 100, grouped in different tables, for each gender and age, and they help us to evaluate the level of physical fitness of each child regardless of gender- and age-specific differences.
How to interpret the reference values?
Using normative reference values provides a valid and reliabe way to assess the fitness of an individual because they take into account the growth and development of your children, as well as the gender differences in certain components of physical fitness. The scores are very easy to use and understand. For instanse, if a child has a percentile score of 80 for a particular test, that means that this child has higher level of physical fitness than 80% of children at the same age and gender. For evaluation of the results, schools and sport clubs can apply the following scale:
< 10th percentile |
Poor |
10th - 24th percentile |
Medium |
25th - 74th percentile |
Good |
75th - 89th percentile |
Very Good |
90th - 100th percentile |
Excellent |
Now it is time to discover where your child stands and unlock a world of possibilities for their growth and development.
