Predicting Countermovement Jump Heights by Time Domain, Frequency Domain, and Machine Learning Algorithms

In this paper, we introduce an experiment evaluating performance of football players in countermovement jumps (CMJs). Three methods including time domain, frequency domain, and machine learning algorithms are proposed for performance evaluation. Correlation coefficients and p-values are given for time domain and frequency domain methods, and prediction errors are given for different machine learning algorithms.
