Phase specific changes in the countermovement jump occur without change in peak metrics following training [PDF]
, 2021 The countermovement jump (CMJ) is routinely used to assess changes in strength-power qualities. Common measures derived from this test include jump height, peak power and peak velocity.

Are Torque-Driven Simulation Models of Human Movement Limited by an Assumption of Monoarticularity?
Applied Sciences, 2021 Subject-specific torque-driven computer simulation models employing single-joint torque generators have successfully simulated various sports movements with a key assumption that the maximal torque exerted at a joint is a function of the kinematics of ...

Sex Differences in Countermovement Jump Phase Characteristics [PDF]
Sports, 2017 The countermovement jump (CMJ) is commonly used to explore sex differences in neuromuscular function, but previous studies have only reported gross CMJ measures or have partly examined CMJ phase characteristics. The purpose of this study was to explore differences in CMJ phase characteristics between male and female athletes by comparing the force ...

Optimum take-off angle in the standing long jump [PDF]
, 2005 The aim of this study was to identify and explain the optimum projection angle that maximises the distance achieved in a standing long jump. Five physically active males performed maximum-effort jumps over a wide range of take-off angles, and the jumps ...
