Power is a combination of strength + speed. During September, SDA 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders completed the "broad jump" to test their lower body power. To successfully complete the broad jump, students launched themselves forward off of two feet from a stand still position. The goal was to jump as far as possible. The legs house the primary muscles involved in this test, but the abdominals and arms also play a role in this explosive movement. Students will repeat this test during 2nd semester to see if they have improved their power levels.
