“…Similarly to F 0 , the positive influence of v 0 on h max is in accordance with studies showing that frog muscles used to power jumping are mainly composed of fast-twitch muscle fibres (Lutz et al, 1998;Marsh, 1994), and with studies relating jumping performance to muscle strength only at high movement velocity (Eckert, 1968). The effect of v 0 on jumping performance has also been suggested through the positions of muscles insertion around joints, favouring in many cases the velocity of movement (Emerson, 1985).…”

A theoretical integrative approach is proposed to understand the overall mechanical characteristics of lower extremities determining jumping ability. This approach considers that external force production during push-off is limited by mechanical constraints imposed by both movement dynamics and force generator properties, i.e. lower extremities characteristics. While the velocity of the body depends on the amount of external force produced over the push-off, the capabilities of force production decrease with increasing movement velocity, notably for force generators driven by muscular contraction, such as lower extremities of large animals during jumping from a resting position. Considering the circular interaction between these two mechanical constraints, and using simple mathematical and physical principles, the proposed approach leads to a mathematical expression of the maximal jump height an individual can reach as a function of only three integrative mechanical characteristics of his lower extremities: the maximal force they can produce (F (0)), the maximal velocity at which they can extend under muscles action (v (0)) and the distance of force production determined by their usual extension range (h(PO)). These three integrative variables positively influence maximal jump height. For instance in humans, a 10% variation in F (0), v (0) or h(PO) induces a change in jump height of about 10-15%, 6-11% and 4-8%, respectively. The proposed theoretical approach allowed to isolate the basic mechanical entities through which all physiological and morphological specificities influence jumping performance, and may be used to separate the very first macroscopic effects of these three mechanical characteristics on jumping performance variability.

“…Eckert (1968) found that maximal angular velocities of the leg were significantly correlated with the vertical jump in males, but not in females. However, most investigators, using arm movements, have found nonsignificant correlations between speed of limb movement and strength of the involved muscles (Clarke, 1960;Henry & Whitley, 1960;Smith, 1961a;Rasch, 1954).…”

“…Early experimental studies have demonstrated differences between horizontal and vertical jumps in the contributions of different joints (45.9%, 3.9%, and 50.2% vs. 40%, 24.2%, and 35.8% for the hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint in the horizontal and vertical jumps, respectively; Robertson & Fleming, 1987). Moreover, the range of motion and angular velocity of the hip joint are larger during the horizontal jump, while the range of motion and angular velocity of the knee joint are larger during the vertical jump (Eckert, 1968). Finally, it has been shown that the magnitude of hip flexion, total range of motion of the hip joint, and force generated by the hip muscles are larger in the horizontal jump than in the vertical jump (Nagano et al, 2007).…”

Background: It has been suggested that velocity-based training (VBT) improves real-life performance in sports, such as jumping, but studies rarely examined the associations between variables derived during VBT (VBT-variables) and jumping performances. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between VBT-variables derived during deadlift exercise executed at different loads and anthropometric variables, and vertical and horizontal jump performance in young athletes. Methods: Seventeen youth soccer players (16-18 years old) were included. Predictors were body height, body mass, body fat percentage, and VBT-variables (force, power, and velocity) measured at different loads (45%, 55%, 65%, 75%, 85%, and 95%) of a one-repetition maximum deadlift (1RM). Criteria included tests of vertical and horizontal jumping performance. Results: The VBT-variables are more strongly correlated with horizontal jumps (Pearson's r up to .81) than vertical jumps (Pearson's r up to .75). The VBT-variables for the deadlift recorded at lower loads stronger correlated with jumping performance than the VBT-variables recorded at higher loads. Conclusions: Results of the study suggest that light-to-moderate loads (45%-65% of 1RM) maximize power output and are therefore more strongly related to jumping performance in youth athletes. Further intervention studies aimed at the improvement of jumping performances using the VBT are warranted.
