A method to measure height of a vertical jump of a jumper. At least one switch is deactivated by the jumper stepping thereon. The switch is initially activated by the jumper jumping upward therefrom and thereafter deactivated upon return. A time period is measured while the switch is activated. The square of the activated time period is calculated and thereafter the result is multiplied by a constant to derive vertical jump height. Finally, the resultant vertical jump height of the jump is displayed. |

An exercise apparatus for aerobic conditioning of a person having a flexible rod over which the person must jump in accordance with a rhythmic cadence. A variable speed control device controls the speed of movement of the rod. A light beam may be utilized to replace the flexible rod. The user jumps onto a shock absorbing medium to reduce the shock to the exoskeleton system. |
