RSI 10/5 (Stiffness) Test Instructions
Place your hands on your hips
Vertically jump as fast as you can for 10 repetitions
Immediately jump or rebound as soon as your feet come in contact with the ground
How is the RSI 10/5 (Stiffness) Calculated?
While the RSI 10/5 (Stiffness) test is a 10 jump sequence, the final RSI value is derived from the average of the last 5 jump outputs to accommodate for the effects of a warm-up.
Each individual RSI reading is a product of jump height (derived from 9.81/8*FLIGHT TIME^2) divided by ground contact time. This is expressed as jump height (m) / ground contact time (s).
NOTE: To perform the tests the user must utilize the PUSH Waistbelt accessory in order to receive the most accurate and reliable readings.
