The results showed a significant difference between the maximum variable branch extends the capacity of the wall of the athletes were observed (p=0.342).In addition, athletes in taekwondo and karate branch was found to be a significant difference in the vertical jump test (p=0.008). Taekwondo athletes vertical jump branches in average (x=46.75) than the average athlete in karate branch (x=32.25) were found to be high. After reviewing the studies, it was determined that in the light of the literature, and the results of the vertical jump test data of athletes, Taekwondo athletes and karate athletes were found to be higher higher than other branches of sport.
