ABSTRACT
Power is a highly valued factor in training (Balciunas et al., 2006). Hence, the accurate measurement of power will facilitate the coach and athlete in the athlete’s long term developmental program (Bompa, 1999). In fact, performance increments occur during power enhancements (Trinity et al., 2006). There are various protocols for measuring power (Australian Sports Commission, 2000). One of the most challenging concerns is to relate power directly with the measured performance and the actual activity, say, in a competitive environment (Cronin & Sleivert, 2005). Indirect measurements like maximum vertical and horizontal height jumped may be used to indicate power (Duncan et al., 2006).
