In this short video, I provide a basic overview of what the countermovement jump is and the way we typically cue athletes when conducting this test on a force plate. The countermovement jump is the most common test that is conducted on a force plate and is commonly conducted across a multitude of sports.

It is hoped that this video informs viewers of what the countermovement jump is and how we can standardise the way we conduct the test to allow fairer comparisons among data collected by different testers from around the world.
