“…Viewed through the transition phases for an attack, the explosive strength of the legs is important because of the rapid transition from a defensive position (usually a lying position on one's side) to a standing position from which the attack phase continues. The test which is used to evaluate explosive strength (the standing long jump) is important in the selection of Goalball players (Abdullah, Hassan, Pilus & Fauzee, 2018). In addition, (Goulart-Siqueira et al, 2019) using the counter movement jump test (another test used to evaluate explosive strength), determined that the ball throw has a high correlation (r = 0.754; p < 0.05) with the explosive strength of the legs.…”

The aim of the research was to determine the influence of sprint performance and explosive strength on ball throwing velocity in Goalball. The sample of participants consisted of 12 nationally and internationally ranked Goalball players, with an average age of (25.17±8.03). To evaluate sprint performance, the 5 and 10 meter sprint tests were used. To evaluate explosive strength, the standing long jump and seated medicine ball throw were used. The results of the regression analysis have indicated that the entire system of applied variables is statistically significantly connected and influences ball throwing velocity. At the same time, we evaluated the statistically significant influence of the seated medicine ball throw variable. We can conclude that as part of the fitness training of Goalball players, it is necessary to work on improving sprint performance and explosive strength due to the ability of rapid transition of the players from the defensive phase to the attack phase. It is especially important to develop upper-body explosive strength in order to increase ball throwing velocity and create the possibility for greater effectiveness of Goalball players.

“…However, there are limited studies available in demonstrating the horizontal jump with related key variables among children with DS. Most of previous studies and locally as concerned were conducted on horizontal jump general protocol of standing broad jump (SBJ) test (Abdullah, Hassan, Pilus, Fauzee, & Omar, 2018), lower limb kinetic muscular, skill-related proficiency (Nadzalan, Mohamad, Lee, & Chinnasee, 2018), and motion analysis of horizontal jump (Baharuddin, Hashim, & Salim, 2009). Thus, there are limited information on the specific jumping pattern and muscular strength properties of horizontal jump.…”

This study investigated the jumping performance and lower limbs kinematics among boys with Down syndrome. The participants (n = 23) were required to perform standing broad jump test and their jumping performance was evaluated using Motor Skills Inventory for locomotor skills anal- ysis. In addition, the jumping performance was also recorded for lower limb kinematic analysis using 2-Dimensional video recording tools. Results revealed that 91.3% of the participants scored ‘Poor’ values of standing broad jump distances. Based on the Motor Skills Inventory analysis, five participants were grouped as ‘Rudimentary’, nine participants were ‘Functional’ and the other nine participants were ‘Mature’ level of motor development. Based on these three groups, further analysis was conducted on the lower limbs kinematics during jumping performance (three phases: take off, jump peak height and landing). Finding showed that there were no significant differences on lower limb kinematics between the groups during these three phases of jumping. Proper inter- vention strategies are needed in order to improve the jumping skills among children with Down syndrome.
