Explosive strength
To test explosive strength I performed a standing B. jump. For this I faced the wall and stretched both arms above my head with my hands side by side, so my fingertip level whilst standing could be marked. Then I licked my finger so a mark would be visible on the wall to see where I jumped. I then turned sideways to the wall and with both feet together jumped as high as possible to touch the wall with the fingertips of one outstretched hand. I also swung my arms to gain more momentum so I could jump to the highest of my ability. The distance I jumped was between the two marks on the wall and were measured with a ruler.
