BTW: You don’t even need a great vertical jump to be a good high jumper. Stefan Holm’s vertical was about 29 inches. There was hardly any knee or hip flexion in his takeoff, and he relied almost exclusively on leg stiffness to raise his centre of gravity by about 55 inches.

I saw one test, done in 2007 or 2008, and it was about 24" from standing, compared to something in the 30"s from Donald Thomas… A sport science series that also had some tests done on Asafa (psoas size and quad strength are what I remember).
