Optojump Next is an optical measurement system with transmitting and receiving bar each consisting of 96 LED’s and providing 1.04cm resolution. The LED’s on the transmitting bar communicate continuously with those on the receiving bar while the system detects any interruptions in communication between the bars and calculates their duration.

The system makes it possible to measure flight and contact times during a series of jumps with an accuracy of 1/1000 of a second. With this information the dedicated software program provides detailed analysis of real time data with maximum accuracy that’s linked to each athletes performance.

The Optojump Next system includes high-frequency cameras that can be freely positioned to record video images of the tests carried out, synchronizing them perfectly with the events measured. This provides access to the “quality of the jump” with the added benefit of in-depth video analysis.

Optojump's Next standard protocols include all the classic jumps normally performed, such as the squat jump, counter-movement jump, drop jump and plyometric jumps, but its flexibility is that it enables users to define new areas of interest in athlete monitoring, performance and rehabilitation.

• flight time;
• contact time;
• The rate of strength development (RSD);
• The reactive strength index (RSI);
• Eccentric and concentric phase durations;
• Management of the displacement of the whole body during the jump (precision);
• Correct motor patterns.
