Power measurement in maximum height jump

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018
Athletes performance can be evaluated through different tests generally specifically designed to consider a specific quality. When dealing with explosive power, maximum height jump is widely used. Athlete's performance may be evaluated through different parameters such as elevation differential, excursion of the center of mass in vertical direction, or

Negligible contribution of body density to in-water vertical jump performance in elite male water polo players.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations among in-water vertical jump and various dry-land physical measures by taking the law of Archimedes into consideration, and by normalizing the dry-land measures both to body density and body mass.

Biomechanical Determinants of the Reactive Strength Index During Drop Jumps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Reactive Strength Index (RSI) is often used to quantify drop-jump (DJ) performance; however, not much is known about its biomechanical determinants.

Reliability of and Relationship between Flight Time to Contraction Time Ratio and Reactive Strength Index Modified

open access: yesSports, 2018
Countermovement jump (CMJ) force-time testing is commonly used to monitor seasonal alterations in athletes’ CMJ strategy (to infer alterations in neuromuscular function). The flight time to contraction time (FT:CT) ratio and reactive strength index

Effect of Landing Posture on Jump Height Calculated from Flight Time

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Flight time is widely used to calculate jump height because of its simple and inexpensive application. However, this method is known to give different results than the calculation from vertical velocity at takeoff.

Why do Large Animals Never Actuate Their Jumps with Latch-Mediated Springs? Because They can Jump Higher Without Them. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As animals get smaller, their ability to generate usable work from muscle contraction is decreased by the muscle's force-velocity properties, thereby reducing their effective jump height.

Audio-Based System for Automatic Measurement of Jump Height in Sports Science

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Jump height tests are employed to measure the lower-limb muscle power of athletic and non-athletic populations. The most popular instruments for this purpose are jump mats and, more recently, smartphone apps, which compute jump height through manual ...

Shocks in sand flowing in a silo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We study the formation of shocks on the surface of a granular material draining through an orifice at the bottom of a quasi-two dimensional silo. At high flow rates, the surface is observed to deviate strongly from a smooth linear inclined profile giving

The effectiveness of progressive and traditional coaching strategies to improve sprint and jump performance across varying levels of maturation within a general youth population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Literature pertaining to youth development has identified the importance of understanding the physical, intellectual and emotional needs of adolescents prior to, during, and after their peak height velocity (PHV) period.

Is the effect of a countermovement on jump height due to active state development? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Purpose: To investigate whether the difference in jump height between countermovement jumps (CMJ) and squat jumps (SJ) could be explained by a difference in active state during propulsion.
