Relationships between power outputs measured from force-velocity test, Optojump test and Five-jump test in male shot putters

Conclusion The correlation between force-velocity peak power output (W) and shot put performance showed that force-velocity test constitutes a useful tool assessing peak power output in shot putter athletes. Optojump test and 5-jump test seem not to be accurate for such subjects. Technical abilities and fat mass probably constitute the limiting factor in shot putter during those tests.
