It’s a myth that nba players jump high/ their height and arm length gives the impression of height vert but statistically nfl players jump higher and are far more explosive
These tests are weird. Idk why he didn't use his hands to give him the momentum like an NFL combine vert. Anyway his jump during the man U game in 2012 was 41.7 inches or 1.06 Meters. The top running vertical at the NBA combine 2022 was 41.5 inches.
I'm a Hungarian basketball player. I train a lot for jumping. My vertical off 2 legs is like 83cm, off 1 leg it's like 102cm!! Check my dunking videos!
Si su salto es una mierda 44 cm en seco y 70 con carrera Josh Imatorbhebhe salto un 1,20 en seco parado más del doble y es un jugador de rugby de la NFL que esa gente ni salta en lo que hace
Yeah this was pointless. Try and explain to me how he manages to jump so high during games. Not this nonsense. There’s countless pictures of him reaching insane heights during headers. It’s hard for a player to replicate those in game performances due to the lack of adrenaline.
31” isn’t great but is probably good for soccer players who don’t train for it - his form was awkward as well. If he was a volleyball player, I bet he’d get to 40”
straight vertical .. off the spot no pivot anything above 24" good... anything over 30" great.. vertical with a pivot 28" and above good 32" and above great.. off a run up 32" good 36" great... 40s are just outlier freaks
He doesn’t. Imma exaggerate this a bit. Let’s say you have a 10 inch vertical jump on good tests. Do you really think you would be able to jump 0 inches on that test? I would assume you would either jump the same or jump an inch lower because of other factors but if you are trying, you have overworked yourself the previous day/days, and you are warmed up you will always jump similar to your max vertical.
@@plzstopthisplz1309 This jump wasn't done to test his vertical jump but to know how much G-Force he produces when he jumps that's why you can see a pad like surface where he is jumping and if Ronaldo would do a actual vertical jump test then he would jump 40+ inch, also not to forget he jumps way higher nowadays. Just check his head goal against Sampdoria for instance.
@@thenorseprodigy7466 how do you think he produces as much force as he can? By jumping his highest. Sure the test might have had a different goal in mind but the height of his jump still wouldn’t change by anywhere near as much as you are suggesting. I don’t think you’ve ever taken a vertical jump test if you actually think he would jump 10 more inches if he jumped on wood. I also don’t think you realize how big of a difference 40 inches is from 30. Also about that header goal thing, you are either completely stupid or just don’t know/ never tried to see how much of a vertical jump he would need to get that header. I’ll do the math for you so you know he didn’t jump “way higher.” His header was at 2.56m and he is 1.87m in height. That would mean for him to touch that ball on his head he would need a 27 inch vertical. For him to header it he would need at least 2-3 inches for him to aim and use power. That would give him a 30 inch vertical. That’s the same he jumped in this video which was his actual vertical jump. If he had a 40 inch vertical then that would mean that header he did would be at the level of his lower neck. If he had a 40+ inch vertical that would mean he could use his chest against the ball. If you see how high his feet were compared to his defender, if he had a 40+ inch vertical his bent feet would be at the neck of his defender if he jumped that high.
@@plzstopthisplz1309 No the height of his jump would change because he's jumping in an uneven surface and also he jumps way higher nowadays. Ronaldo is a very dedicated athlete and he's always working on his athleticism. So I'm pretty sure he can add 10 inches more to his jump. Actually he jumped higher than 2.56m because this height is recorded when he headed the ball but he was flying way higher before heading. So his actual jump height would approximately be 270 cm. So that means 32 inch vertical. Also in football you're only jumping according to the height of the ball so if someone would place the ball 3 metres high in training session then I'm pretty sure that he can jump that height and will give him 44 inch vertical.
@@thenorseprodigy7466 okay imma look at your argument a bit. You say he’s an extremely dedicated athlete then say he can probably improve his vertical by 10 inches. If he’s an extremely dedicated athlete then that means 90% of his time is already working on his body perfecting it. With a perfect body for an athlete and him only being able to jump 30 inches I would say he has hit his peak or very well near it. A 10 inch increase or even what you’re suggesting a 14 inch increase would literally mean he isn’t anywhere near his athletic potential which if you think about it makes absolutely no sense considering he has been grinding his whole professional career and not playing soccer for fun. If he was gonna have a 44 inch vertical then I would say high 20s to low 30s would be off of genetics and light plyometric exercises ALONE. Ronaldo has perfected his body for his genetics using a variety of exercise including weights. He only jumped 30 inches after all that training which would give you the conclusion his vertical is definitely not a 40 inch. In fact, some highschool basketball players that grow to have 40 inch verticals jumped higher than he did at the age of 14 without all the trainers and weights and overall work to get a perfect body suited for their genetics. Basically what I explained here is that he CANNOT add 10 inches to his vertical jump. Next about your uneven platform. Unless you are trolling there is no way you are gonna tell me that he jumped 10 inches less because the platform was barely one inch above the ground. You say he jumps much higher but where is the proof????? Ronaldo is 36 years old so his vertical is declining, not increasing so I doubt he is “jumping much higher nowadays.”
@@asura8495when i jump my highest i was 19. Didnt do anything special. Driving bike and did a lot of jumping by playing basketball. I know asura wrath Btw.
38 is very very good honestly. Ive seen the charts, but dont know if theyre created with standing or running vertical jump. so its either very good or exceptionally good for not training for it
Is it just me or was this test just straight trash, Ronaldo has socks on, jumping off an uneven surface (unlike the gym floors where NBA players test their verts) jumps with his hands down instead of pulling them up (probably cause how football is ruled) and with like a two step run up instead of like the usual run up, It can't just be me who thinks Ronaldo's jumping vert is so much higher
Not impressive. Im 15 5ft 9 and have 32 inch vert. Mine isnt impressive either but im working on it. NFL players would litteraly levitatate over ronaldo
This show is offensive to common sense.. First, he's jumping from a static position with no arm swing- why?, 2nd, he's taking gather steps before the jump and they claim the jump was "higher than the average NBA player." How is that? NBA players have their verticals measured, neither of Ronaldo's first two attempts were a true "vertical." If NBA players could take a few gather steps and jump they'd all have ~6 + inches added to their "vertical." Ronaldo is a freak athlete but his bunnies are well below the NBA average.
My brother was a sports buff and I introduced him this vertical jump program to improve his vertical jump. He likes the program after reaching a big development. He is not someone who loves reading, so it gives me great delight to see him having this book around - dog-eared from being read over and over. It is not hard to find this jump guide on Google. The jump guide is over here t.co/aX2oR1o9FS
people saying compared to the nba its bad but he's measured from his head. Nba players are measured from there hands. If he could reach with his hands his vertical would be disgusting.
All 369 people comments ain't know shit of soccer or Cristiano without any knowledge just dropping nba and NFL rookie jump high u guys don't know shit just watch his bicycle goal then talk bitches
saying "the average nba player" isnt fair because most of those guys are huge and weigh a ton. if you compare ronaldo to nba players his height his vert looks pretty dismal. the average nba guard probably has a 36 inch vert, top tier guards will have 40+ inch verts.
Bro this video was made like 14 years ago😭, he has improved his leg strength since then, just look at his legs and quads compared now compared to this video
ronaldos jumping technique is actually not that perfect thats why he couldnt get more....he brought his hands down after the jump mid air...instead of going forward and above with the momentum. Ofcourse he has a habit of keeping his hands down being a football player.
