Neuromuscular Profile
The neuromuscular profile assesses the level of an athlete in 3 different phases of the movement (concentric, eccentric, reactive) by assessing 3 different jumps:
- Squat jump
- Countermovement jump
- Continuous jumps
This test will help the evaluator to assess the strength condition of the athlete in 3 minutes and to prescribe strength training later.

Common Mistake
Plyomtetric Drop Jump
The Plyometric drop jump assessment helps the evaluator finding the optimal height for an athlete or patient to perform drop jumps.
Assess your athlete’s drop jump at 4-5 different heights to find the best reactivity index.
Still unsure after watching the video? Follow the step- by- step process below!
1. To start, choose the test “Plyometrics: Drop Jump”.
2. Tap on the height space to input the first box height.
For this example, we will use 10, 20, and 30 cm as the boxes’ height. The first height will be 10 cm.
3. Once the height has been added, select “Jump”.
4. After getting the results, type the second height to assess the athlete.
For this example, we will add 20.
Once the height has been added, select “Jump”.
5. After performing 2 or more jumps, multiple options will become available.
a. Select “Reset” to restart the test from the beginning.
b. Select “Show chart” to see the graph of the results.
c. Select the height space to add the next height for assessing a third drop jump
d. Select “Save” to save the data on the cloud of the two (2) previously performed jumps.
In this example, we will choose a third (3rd) height to compare three (3) different data points later on.
6. After adding the third (3rd) height, select “Jump” to initiate the third drop jump.
For this example, we will add 30 cm.
7. After performing the last drop jump, tap on “Show Graph” to see the results.
8.The graph interface will show the Height and the Q index developed by the athletes on the jumps performed. In this case, 3 jumps were performed, so our curve will have three (3) different dots for Q index and height.
9. Because of the scale, it is clearer to see one curve at a time. To hide a curve, tap on its name. In this case, we will hide the “Height cm”.
If you want to see only the Height, select “Q Index” do hide the Q index curve and only show the height.
10. To return to all the assessments, tap on < in the top left corner.
Common mistakes
Plyometric Hurdle Height
The Plyometric Hurdle Height assessment allows you to find the optimal height an athlete needs for developing their best reactivity when performing plyometrics with hurdles.
The athlete will only need to perform continuous jumps as high as possible and with minimum contact time with the ground.
Still unsure after watching the video? Follow the step- by- step process below!
1. To start, select “Plyometric Hurdle Height”.

Common Mistakes
Sprints
This assessment will allow the evaluator to assess the capacity of repeating sprints at a designated distance. It will also assess which speed was the athlete able to develop during each sprint.
Still unsure after watching the video? Follow the step- by- step process below!
1.To start, select the “ Sprint” assessment.
2. On the assessment interface, type the resting time between sets in the “Time” space; and the distance that the athlete will be running in the “Distance” space.
3. Note that this assessment is a back-and-forth run. The athlete needs to depart the WheelerJump measuring area and pass through the area again to re-activate the system.
This means that the distance input on the “Distance” space is a back and forth distance. If the athlete needs to run from point A to point B 5 m, the distance to input on the space will be 10 m:
A to B= 5 m
B to A= 5 m
Total distance= 5 m+5 m= 10m
4. Once time and distance are added are incorrect spaces, select on “Run”.
5. The following screen shows that the assessment is currently running.
6. Once the athlete crosses the WheelerJump sensors, the timer will start counting down the preselected resting time.
The speed developed by the athlete per second will be displayed in red.
7.Once the time has elapsed, situate the athlete in the testing area again. Tap on “Run” to initiate assessing a second sprint.
