LOAD THAT MAXIMIZES POWER OUTPUT IN COUNTERMOVEMENT JUMP [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction: One of the main problems faced by strength and conditioning coaches is the issue of how to objectively quantify and monitor the actual training load undertaken by athletes in order to maximize performance. It is well known that performance of explosive sports activities is largely determined by mechanical power.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the effect of countermovement depth on the magnitude of the countermovement jump (CMJ) derived reactive strength index modified (RSImod), and to compare the RSImod between the CMJ performed with a self‐preferred knee flexion angle (CMJpref) and the CMJ performed from a pre‐determined knee flexion angle (CMJrefer)

Effects of Concurrent Activation Potentiation on Countermovement Jump Performance [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of concurrent activation potentiation (CAP) on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Twenty-four resistance-trained males (mean ± SD; age: 25 ± 4 years, body mass: 78.7 ± 10.3 kg) performed a CMJ on a force plate under 4 different conditions: (a) a control condition where the CMJ was performed with ...

The Ecological Validity of Countermovement Jump to On-Court Asymmetry in Basketball
AbstractJump-based asymmetry is often used as an indicator of sport performance and may be used to discern injury susceptibility. Due to task specificity, however, countermovement jump asymmetry may not be representative of on-court asymmetry.

Analyses of Countermovement Jump Performance in Time and Frequency Domains [PDF]
This study aimed to analyze counter-movement jump (CMJ) performance in time and frequency domains. Fortyfour Division I American football players participated in the study. Kinetic variables were collected from both dominant and non-dominant legs using two force plates.
