Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among maximum
isokinetic concentric knee torque, muscle activity (EMG) and vertical jumping height of …

The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the kinematics and kinetics of the vertical
jump when jumping for different heights and to investigate movement effectiveness as a …

When applying drop jump exercises, knowing the magnitude of the stimulus is fundamental
to stabilize the leg joints and to generate movements with the highest power. The effects of …

The drop jump exercise requires an athlete to drop from a predetermined height and
immediately after ground contact to perform a jump usually from a double leg takeoff in a …

The aim of this study was to determine how elite volleyball players employed the arm swing
(AS) to enhance their jump performance. The study assessed how the AS influenced the …

The drop jump is a popular form of plyometric exercise often undertaken to enhance
countermovement jump ability (jump height). Despite its popularity the effects of drop jump …
