Resum	The counter-movement jump (CMJ) is a simple, field-friendly test of lower-body explosive power in which the athlete stands on a force plate, descends into a shallow squat (counter-movement phase), and explosively extends to jump as high as possible. Pioneered by Bosco and Komi (1983), the CMJ captures the integrated function of strength, rate of force development, and elastic energy utilization. Jump height (measured via flight time from force plate or motion capture) and peak power are reported. The CMJ is among the most widely used tests in sports science, athlete monitoring, and research due to simplicity, objectivity, and relevance to explosive power in nearly all sports.	Rate of force development (RFD) is the speed at which force is produced during the initial phase of muscle contraction, typically expressed as the slope of the force-time curve in the first 50, 100, or 200 milliseconds of isometric contraction. Introduced comprehensively by Aagaard and colleagues (2002), RFD is a measure of explosive strength capacity and neural drive efficiency. Unlike maximal voluntary strength (which captures peak force), RFD captures how quickly an athlete can generate that force—a critical quality in sports requiring rapid, explosive movements (sprinting starts, jumping, tackling). RFD improves dramatically with strength training, reflecting increased motor unit recruitment rate and firing frequency.
