.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about the reliability of the Just Jump System (JJS) is correct?

• The JJS provides unreliable jump height measurements.

• The JJS provides a reliable but overestimated measure of jump height.

• The JJS underestimates jump height compared to the force platform.

• The JJS and force platform always give identical results.
