For testing reactive strength.... which is better? The traditional drop jump or the 10 to 5 Rebound Jump test?

RSI data analysis. The Quadrant Approach
Eamonn Flanagan@EamonnFlanagan
Always worth breaking RSI testing into quadrants or groups based on athletes relative reliance on contact time or jump height to achieve their outcomes. Z-Scores or normative data can guide. Can help guide training interventions and groupings.

The RJT+5cm rule: A simple heuristic for quick & easy drop-jump height optimization.

Some general thoughts on organising jump testing.
f you want to track a specific strength quality, use a test that overloads it

How do we define "true plyometrics"?
Its not all about contact time being <0.250s
