The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the kinematics and kinetics of the vertical
jump when jumping for different heights and to investigate movement effectiveness as a …

The objective of the present work was to study the interaction between the tendon elasticity,
the muscle activation-loading dynamics, specific actions of the biarticular muscles …

Sports Exerc., Vol. 39, No. 10, pp. 1757–1764, 2007. Purpose: The aim of this study was to
evaluate the effect of external loading on mechanics of vertical jumping. We hypothesized …

The purpose of this study was to perform a detailed kinematic, kinetic, and
electromyographic comparison of maximal effort horizontal and vertical jumping. It was of …

The purpose of this investigation was to quantify the differences between one-and two-foot
vertical jumping performances. Fourteen subjects performed both jump styles with a four …

An increase in the period over which a muscle generates force can lead to the generation of
greater force and, therefore, for example in jumping, to greater jump height. The aim of this …

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in both the coordination patterns of
segmental actions and the dynamics of vertical jumping that accompany changes in vertical …

The performance criterion in maximum vertical jumping has typically been assumed to
simply raise the center of mass as high as possible. In many sporting activities minimizing …

Performance of a vertical jump was analyzed with respect to the contribution of the different
body segments to the forces acting on the whole body center of gravity. Both cinematograph …
