Validity and Reliability of a Medicine Ball Explosive Power Test.
Stockbrugger, Barry A.; Haennel, Robert G.
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, v15 n4 p431-38 Nov 2001
Evaluated the validity and reliability of a medicine ball throw test to evaluate explosive power. Data on competitive sand volleyball players who performed a medicine ball throw and a standard countermovement jump indicated that the medicine ball throw test was a valid and reliable way to assess explosive power for an analogous total-body movement pattern and general athletic ability.
