HAWKIN METRIC DATABASE

Force plate performance assessments are used for profiling, benchmarking, and monitoring the performance of healthy individuals, as well as returning them to performance following injury. The Hawkin Metric Database will help you select the most appropriate performance assessments for your population, as well as the most impactful metrics. Below you can find metric definitions, videos, and key papers for all Hawkin Dynamics performance assessments.

Countermovement Jump Metrics

The countermovement jump is an assessment of lower body slow stretch-shortening cycle function, which involves the active stretching (eccentric, braking) of the lower limb musculature before it actively shortens (concentric, propulsion). The results of this performance assessment are related to a multitude of dynamic athletic tasks, such as acceleration, change of direction, and tackling performance. It is primarily used to assess changes in response to training and competition stress. It is the most frequently used performance assessment on a force plate due to the minimal familiarisation required, how rapidly it can be performed, and the wealth of information it provides. It can be performed with the arms akimbo, with an arm swing, externally loaded, and/or unilaterally.

Countermovement Rebound Jump Metrics

The countermovement rebound jump is a multifaceted performance assessment. The countermovement jump phase is an assessment of lower body slow stretch shortening cycle function, whereas the rebound jump phase is an assessment of lower body fast stretch shortening cycle function. The magnitude of the active stretch during the rebound phase is dictated by the jump height of the countermovement jump phase. There is limited research available on the countermovement rebound jump performance assessment; however, essentially it is the combination of the countermovement jump and the drop jump, so it provides the same information in less time - why perform two performance assessments when you can perform one? It is rapidly becoming a popular performance assessment due to the wealth of information it provides and the time it saves; however, familiarisation to ensure the countermovement jump is maximal and the rebound jump is less than 250 ms is required. It can be performed with the arms akimbo, with an arm swing, externally loaded, and/or unilaterally.

Drop Landing Metrics

The drop landing is a measure of stability. The demand on the neuromuscular system is dictated by the box height used, so this must be carefully considered. Landing stability is a risk factor for the incidence of ankle sprains, as well as many other lower body injuries. As such, it is primarily used to identify individuals at risk, as well as guide the return to performance process. As with the drop jump, it can also be performed on the force plates during training sessions to provide biofeedback and augment output, maximising adaptations. Although it is a popular performance assessment, there are a range of factors which impact its reliability, so the standard operating procedure adopted is of paramount importance.
