Jumping is a skill that requires substantial muscular strength, coordination and balance and is commonly used to assess lower body muscle strength. New results based on the combined data from the 2016 to 2019 Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) show that peak jumping height is attained at a younger age and declines faster in Canadian females compared with males.
