The vertical jump is a commonly used test and widely studied in literature. Indeed, it is one of the most prevalent method of assessment on sport performance because the jump height is highly correlated with leg extensor muscles power. This paper deals with the study on a new contact mat system whose performances have been compared with a force platform. Some tests have been performed and the relative comparative results will be presented. The study shows a significant concurrent validity of Wi-JumpLe system for the flight and ground contact time measurements. In conclusion, the new contact mat structure together with the electronic measurement system is legitimate to assess vertical jump height and leg extensors muscle power.
