The Test Bosco was born in 1983 thanks to the researches of the scholar Carmelo Bosco. The basis of this test Bosco is a brilliant idea of \u200b\u200btwo major physiological and biomechanical past Asmussen and Bonde-Petersen.
in 1974, they devised a system that allows measurement of lifting the center of gravity of a jump (and thus the height in centimeters) simply by measuring the flight time of the subject that is measured between the space that exists between the time of detachment to return to contact with the ground (h = 1.226 X ² flight time). It was through this process in which Carmelo Bosco started his own assessment protocol called Test Bosco.
The objective of this test is to evaluate the explosive force of the lower extremities by running a battery of jumps performed in different ways, through the use of a particular instrument can be calculated with great precision the height in cm of jumps and then have an assessment of explosive strength of lower limbs of the evidence standard soggetto.Le Bosco Tests are as follows:
• Squat Jump (SJ): vertical jump from a standing start. The quality of investigation are the explosive power and ability to recruit nervous is a sign of a high percentage of fast fibers. In this test the subject must perform a vertical jump without counter-down starting from the half squat position (knees bent at 90 °), upright and keeping your hands on your hips.
• Counter Movement Jump (CMJ): vertical jump with countermovement. In this test, in addition to that found in the Squat Jump, you go to investigate the ability of Risus the elastic capacity of the muscles and to exploit the reflection miotattico.
• Drop Jump (DJ): jump-type Plyometric from a height. In this test the subject must perform a vertical jump after falling from a step of varying heights. The quality of the investigation are the reactive force of the lower limbs.
• Jumps to continue for a duration ranging from 5 to 60 seconds allows you to evaluate the energy the energy supplied by anaerobic metabolism and lactate alattaccido during a series of jumps.
addition to these standard tests you can perform other types of tests based on the needs of the athlete.
The Bosco test turns out to be a test of fundamental importance for the preparation and evaluation of the athlete of many sports.
