  Abstract:  Background. The aim of this article was to test if the MGM-15 Jump Carpet can be used as a reliable method of recording the real level of power output generated by athletes. A good support for our study was the Bahamonde and Johnson study that aimed at identifying a reliable power measurement. Methods. We used the MGM-15 Jump Carpet for any of the tests we undertook on this study. Results. The value span for the performance athletes group was between 1.77 and 5.4 while for the other group the span was between 2.33 and 4.42. Considering these data, the average values for the first group were 3.37 – 3.54(for the 2 measurements) and for the second one were 3.45 – 3.54 (for the same 2 measurements). Conclusions. We can say that the MGM-15 Jump Carpet is a good support for power increase training for any of the top teams that compete in the National Championship. This is a great way of helping the work of the staff from any team simply by offering a non-subjective way of determining the effectiveness of a training program.
