The purpose of this study was to compare the kinetics, kinematics, and muscle activation
patterns of the countermovement jump, the power clean, and the jump squat with the …

To determine the contributions of the motions of the body segments to the vertical ground
reaction force (Fz), the joint torques produced by the leg muscles, and the time course of …

The maximal height attained in a vertical jump is heavily influenced by the execution of a
large countermovement prior to the upward motion. When a jump must be executed without …

To characterize the electromyographic (EMG) activity, ground reaction forces, and
kinematics were used in the running jump with different takeoff angles. Two male long …

This study aimed to explore the biomechanical differences between single and double peak
ground reaction force-time curves during the countermovement jump with respect to …
