Passive Knee Exoskeleton Increases Vertical Jump Height
Most exoskeletons are designed to reduce the metabolic costs of performing aerobic tasks such as walking, running, and hopping. This study presents an exoskeleton that boosts vertical jumping-a fast, short movement during which the muscles are exerted at peak capacity.

Analysis of standing vertical jumps using a force platform [PDF]
A force platform analysis of vertical jumping provides an engaging demonstration of the kinematics and dynamics of one-dimensional motion. The height of the jump may be calculated (1) from the flight time of the jump, (2) by applying the impulse–momentum

Development of a method to identify foot strike on an arena surface: application to jump landing [PDF]
Foot strike can be difficult to determine using kinematics alone, particularly when studying equine activities on more compliant surfaces, so this study was done with the aim of developing and validating a method to determine foot strike on an arena ...

Muscular coordination during vertical jumping [PDF]
The musculoskeletal system has a relatively large number of mechanical degrees of freedom. In order to permit coordinated movement, it is thought that these degrees of freedom are constrained, reducing the complexity of the motor control problem.

Control of maximal and submaximal vertical jumps [PDF]
It was investigated to what extent control signals used by human subjects to perform submaximal vertical jumps are related to control signals used to perform maximal vertical jumps.Eight subjects performed both maximal and submaximal height jumps from a static squatting position.

Effect of single vs. multi joint ballistic resistance training upon vertical jump performance [PDF]
The present study aimed to examine the effects of two different ballistic resistance training regimens, with and without the possibility to utilize the proximal to distal coordination between knee and ankle, upon maximal vertical jump performance ...
