Effect of Lead Exposure on Jumping Ability in Pelophylax nigromaculata

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021
Jumping ability determines the likelihood of survival and reproduction of amphibians. To study the toxic effect of lead (Pb) on the jumping ability of amphibians, Pelophylax nigromaculata were treated with 0, 1 and 10 mg/L Pb for 10 days and 20 days each.

Jumping ability is related to change of direction ability in elite handball players

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2021
This study investigated the relationship between vertical and horizontal jumping ability and change of direction (COD) to measure athletic performance in 51 elite male handball players.Countermovement jump (CMJ), peak power, and standing long jump (SLJ) were measured.

JUMPING ABILITY AND CHANGE OF JUMPING ABILITY AS RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING JUMPER'S KNEE

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2013
IntroductionThe ‘jumper's knee paradox’, where symptomatic athletes appear to perform better in a counter movement jump (CMJ) compared to asymptomatic controls in previous case-control studies, is not fully understood. The aim was to examine the relationship between jumping ability and change of jumping ability as potential risk factors for developing ...

Drop Jumping as a Training Method for Jumping Ability

Sports Medicine, 1990
Vertical jumping ability is of importance for good performance in sports such as basketball and volleyball. Coaches are in need of exercises that consume only little time and still help to improve their players' jumping ability, without involving a high risk of injury. Drop jumping is assumed to satisfy these requirements.

Augmented jump

Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2018
This paper introduces Augmented Jump, a backpack multirotor system for jumping ability augmentation. Augmented Jump hovers and supports users' weight by a constant upward power of thrust. Users can jump higher and stay in the air for a longer time than usual with Augmented Jump. We designed and developed our first proof-of-concept prototype that can be

Association and reversal learning abilities in a jumping spider

Behavioural Processes, 2014
The ability to learn and overwrite learned associations allows animals to respond adaptively to changes in their environment. However, such behavioural plasticity is presumed to be costly and the question arises to which extent animals with restricted neuronal capacity are capable of such flexible behaviour.

Which drop jump technique is most effective at enhancing countermovement jump ability, “countermovement” drop jump or “bounce” drop jump?

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2013
The drop jump is a popular form of plyometric exercise often undertaken to enhance countermovement jump ability (jump height). Despite its popularity the effects of drop jump training on countermovement jump height are often inconsistent. Such inconsistencies may be as a result of differences in the drop jump technique being employed.
