What does the vertical jump test measure and how would this be suitable for a netball player?

The vertical jump test measures leg power. It would be suitable for a netball player as leg power is needed to not only perform certain actions, such as pivoting or running but also to jump for the ball. The test will measure the players ability to do this.
