No studies have reported ground reaction force (GRF) profiles of the repeated depth jump
(DJ) protocols commonly used to study exercise-induced muscle damage. Furthermore …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effects of static stretching, with
vibration given directly over Achilles tendon, on electro-myographic (EMG) responses and …

The objective of this study was to compare a number of variables derived from the vertical
and horizontal force components between loaded countermovement jumps performed in a …

Abstract Bridgeman, LA, Gill, ND, Dulson, DK, and McGuigan, MR. The effect of exercise
induced muscle damage after a bout of accentuated eccentric load drop jumps and the …

The purpose of this study was to compare mechanical efficiency between repeated static
jumps (SJ), countermovement jumps (CMJ), drop jumps from 75% of maximum CMJ jump …

A novel loading method was applied to explore selective effects of externally added weight
(W), weight and inertia (W+ I), and inertia (I) on maximum counter-movement jumps (CMJ) …

This study examined the effects of medial longitudinal arch (MLA) flexibility on kinetics
during the eccentric and concentric subphases of a drop vertical jump (DVJ). Physically …

Improving power output of the lower extremity is a common goal for many strength and
conditioning programs. Specifically, loaded vertical jumps have been proven to increase …

The purpose of this study was to determine if children exhibit greater variability in center of
mass movement and kinetics compared with adults in vertical jumping. Countermovement …

Warm-up routines are typically designed to precondition the neuromuscular system for
enhanced performance and reduced injury risk during subsequent high-intensity physical …
