INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of body
fat, as well as selected limb lengths and proportions, on the maximal mechanical power and …

Countermovement jump (CMJ) is an element of many sports techniques and has an
important role in the overall performance, both when performed at maximal and submaximal …

In order to explain the role of countermovement in the manifestation of explosive strength in
vertical jumps performed with and without countermovement, the difference between the …

Leg stiffness is a quantitative measure of elastic properties that determines the ability to
accumulate potential elastic energy for use in a vertical jump. The conceptual and …

Jumping is a complex physical ability dependent on the main physical abilities—speed,
strength, coordination. The aim of this study was to show that jumping ability has dual …

The main objective of the study was to determine to what degree higher muscular activity,
achieved by increased load in the extension phase (eccentric muscle action) of the vertical …

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) …

Vertical jump is one of the most common ways to evaluate the explosive power of lower
extremities in athletes. For the development of explosive power, plyometric exercises are …

In numerous cases of training process, as well as in biomechanical studies, counter-
movement jump (CMJ) is used to evaluate strength/speed abilities of athletes of different …
