Evaluate central nervous system recovery by comparing vertical jump heights before and after physical exertion.
Estimated Fatigue Score Percentage Change:
0%
Interpretation Guide:
Neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) is a reduction in the ability of the nervous system to activate muscles effectively, often measured via explosive power tests.
Formula: Fatigue % = ((Post-Session - Pre-Session) / Pre-Session) × 100
Fatigue % = ((Post-Session - Pre-Session) / Pre-Session) × 100
A powerlifter tests their baseline vertical jump before a heavy squat session.
Vertical jumps require high-frequency neural drive; a performance drop directly reflects systemic CNS fatigue.
Depending on intensity, CNS recovery can take 24 to 72 hours, often longer than local muscle soreness.
Perform the pre-test after a standard warm-up and the post-test immediately after your final training set.
