Arm swing during a jump can enhance performance. This study examined the mechanisms
via which arm swing contributes to maximum vertical jump height. Two mechanisms have …

This study quantified and compared how the directional differences in arm swing affected
mechanical and physiological parameters during forward and backward jumping. Seven …

Twenty-five volleyball players (14 males, 11 females) were videotaped (60Hz) performing
countermovement vertical jumps with and without an arm swing. Ground reaction force and …

The purpose of this study was to make a kinetic comparison of backward and forward giant
