How to calculate jump height from the force and a person's weight

[QUOTE="sophiecentaur, post: 6299458, member: 199289"] That is certainly one way of doing it. The [I]Energy[/I] based calculation is just as valid and equates the Integrated Force times distance to give the Energy input to the jumper which gives the increase in Gravitational Potential Energy (i.e. max height). An advantage of this approach is that it needs no measurement of time - just the geometry of the athlete. [/QUOTE]
