TL;DR: With the exception of the throwing-in and standing kick, the evaluated tests revealed high intraclass correlation coefficients, which are recommended for sport-specific profiling and early selection of young athletes as well as for routine testing procedures that could detect effects of various intervention procedures.

TL;DR: Most of the EFP tests could be reliable for assessing neuromuscular function in their muscle-force- (or, indirectly, muscle size) dependent (such as RFD and F100 ms), or muscle- force-independent (T30–70% and RFD/ Fmax) forms, however, their “external validity” when applied to assess the ability to perform rapid movements could be questioned.

TL;DR: The loaded vertical jumps could be developed into a routine method for testing the force, velocity, and power generating capacity of leg extensors and reveal a reliable, valid, strong and quasi-linear F–V relationship.

TL;DR: The findings add to the evidence that the linear F–V and, consequently, parabolic P–V models could be used to study the mechanical properties of muscular systems, as well as to design a relatively simple, reliable, and ecologically valid routine test of the muscle ability of force, power, and velocity production.

TL;DR: Both body size (in CMJ and SJ) and countermovement depth ( in CMJ) confound the relationship between the muscle power output with the performance of maximum vertical jumps, and routine assessments of muscle power from jumping performance and vice versa are recommended.
