At what speed can a person jump in zero g?

[QUOTE="phinds, post: 6832288, member: 310841"] Just common sense says that the leg muscles could achieve a greater initial velocity under low g and less under high g, all assuming a squat to start with. Think about this, Dave: How fast is your initial velocity just jumping up here on Earth. Now suppose you have exactly the same body and same musculature but you weigh 500 lbs. How high to you think you could jump then and with what initial velocity (if you could even jump at all)? Isn't it obvious to you that if you only weighted 20lbs you could jump a lot higher and with a greater initial velocity? [/QUOTE]
