Abstract Decker, AJ, and McCaw, ST. Target heights alter the energetics of drop jumps when
drop height is held constant. J Strength Cond Res 26 (12): 3237–3242, 2012—Plyometrics …

In the literature, athletes preparing for explosive activities are recommended to include drop
jumping in their training programs. For the execution of drop jumps, different techniques and …

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics of single-and double-legged
drop jumps (SDJ vs. DDJ) with changes in drop height. Jumping height, ground contact time …

In this study, the role of arm motion in a drop jump was investigated in skilled and unskilled
subjects. Nine skilled volleyball players and 8 novice individuals performed a series of …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a horizontal approach run and
drop height on the activation of lower extremity muscles during drop jumps. Ten participants …

The drop vertical jump is a popular plyometric exercise. Two distinct techniques are
commonly used to initiate the drop vertical jump. With the 'step-off'technique, athletes step off …

Our purpose was to evaluate the vertical ground reaction force, impulse, moments and
powers of hip, knee and ankle joints, contact time, and jump height when performing a drop …
