Why Did Huberman Lab Match a Broad Jump to Your Height?

On Huberman Lab, speed draws little separate worry because a power test already shows a lot about speed, and a power test is easier to do and easier to train for most people. The cost-free version is a simple broad jump. Stand in a normal position, jump as far in front as possible, and measure the distance from the start to the back of the heel where it lands.

The super basic number is your own height. A person who is five foot five should hit five foot five, and a person who is six foot five should hit six foot five. The target is not perfect. Females should bring the distance down about fifteen percent, because females do not have the power men have in general. On Huberman Lab, the height match is a very crude number.

A high-performance NFL player who is six feet tall jumps about nine to ten to eleven feet. The height-long broad jump stays a crude basic target for most people, while a six-foot high-performance NFL player covers nine to ten to eleven feet.
