Authors' conclusion

vJP was associated with sarcopenia, age, and muscle parameters in adults, with good agreement with ground truth jump power.

Further findings

vJP vs age and muscle function

vJP showed a steep decline across age like gJP, with modest to strong correlation with handgrip strength (HGS) and CRT
Most contributing features: eight landmarks (both shoulders, hip, knee joints, ears)

Association of vJP with sarcopenia, HGS and CRT (unadjusted and adjusted)

Sarcopenia, unadjusted and adjusted
- 3.95 and - 2.30 W/kg
HGS, per 1 SD decrement, unadjusted and adjusted
- 3.69 and - 1.96 W/kg
log-CRT, per 1 SD decrement, unadjusted and adjusted
- 2.79 and - 1.87 W/kg
  • Similar to that of gJP
