Background In the context of a public health physical fitness (PF) examination in
adolescence, a countermovement jump (CMJ) and a squat jump (SJ) are two vertical jump …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Background Elastic taping applied on the triceps surae has been commonly used to improve

professional male and female volleyball players: effects of playing position and competition …

Objective: The lower impact on the musculoskeletal system induced by plyometric exercise

This study investigated the effect of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation on
recovery from eccentric exercise. Twenty males ingested either a BCAA supplement or …

The eccentric utilization ratio (EUR), which is the ratio of countermovement jump (CMJ) to
static jump (SJ) performance, has been suggested as a useful indicator of power …

This study aimed to analyze the effect of different knee starting angles on jump performance,
kinetic parameters, and intersegmental coupling coordination during a squat jump (SJ) and …

Traditionally, a larger difference between countermovement (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) was
seen as beneficial, as it reflects the ability to utilize the stretch-shortening cycle. However …
