“…It was not until the 18th century that the men's high jump was included as an official event in the first modern Olympic Games, cementing its status as a sport with its origins in the United Kingdom. The high leap, scissors, tumbling, prone, and deadlift are just a few of the five diverse high jump techniques that have emerged over time [3]. Today, the fosbury flop is a jumping event at the World Sports Championships, and it is also utilized in physical education as one of the athletics learning events in the sport of track and field [4].…”

Due to the high efficiency of low-frequency mechanical energy harvesting, wearable and flexible self-powered sport sensor based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have become the hot research topic. Thus, we report a flexible and wearable cotton fabric (CF) coated with carbon oil- (CO-) based TENG (CC-TENG) with low processing costs, good electrical properties, and long working life. Meanwhile, we use a piece of flexible, microfibre-woven CF as the substrate for the CO. Moreover, the fibre surface characteristics of the cotton fabric provide higher surface roughness, which can make the TENG device work better. In detail, the CO layer serves as the triboelectric material and conductive electrode. According to the results, the CC-TENG shows good reliability, and the electric energy generated by CC-TENG can drive low-power electronic devices. Significantly, CC-TENG device can be applied to fosbury flop training to obtain training data and motion information monitoring, which will promote the wearable intelligent sports device.

Objective The necessity to exclude flat foot when selecting athletes is a controversial issue. This study aimed to investigate whether flat foot affects vertical jump. Methods The quality of the literature was assessed using the observational study quality assessment tool provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care in Australia. Meta-analysis, heterogeneity testing, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and forest plot were conducted using Review Manager 5.4. Results In the end, 9 articles met the meta-analysis criteria. Due to the heterogeneity of the studies, only vertical jump height was used as an indicator for meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results showed low heterogeneity among studies (I 2 = 6%, P = 0.39), and the combined effect size showed no significant difference in jumping height between flat foot and normal foot ( P = 0.73, ES = 0.13, 95%CI [-0.58, 0.83]). Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences in jump heights between flat and normal foot in either the adolescent subgroup (ES = 0.07, 95% CI [-1.04, 1.18]) or the adult subgroup (ES = 0.16, 95% CI [-0.76, 1.08]). Subgroups were divided according to training background, and jump height was unaffected by flat foot in both athletes (ES = -0.08, 95%CI [-1.07, 0.90]) and amateur (ES = 0.34, 95%CI [-0.67, 1.35]). Conclusion Overall, flat foot do not affect vertical jump height, although flat foot have different vertical jump biomechanics. This study breaks the bias that flat foot have poorer athletic performance. The meta-analysis has been registered with PROSPERO under registration number CRD42023481326.

Muscle power (FxV, explosive strength or explosive power) is an element of fitness level that influences the quality and efficiency of movements. Most of the studies that address plyometrics identify the effectiveness of this method at the level of performance athletes with different specializations and muscle power requirements. We considered that we can also study the possibility of using plyometrics in physical education lessons. The research identifies the benefits of implementing plyometric exercises for non-athlete university students on lower body muscle power indicators in curricular physical activities. The group of analyzed students (327 subjects/undergraduate level, of which 143 female and 184 male) participated in physical education lessons during one academic year (1 activity per week). The plyometric exercises used were jumping variants, diversified and adapted in dosage to the motor possibilities of the non-athlete students (on one or both legs, lateral, on ladder rungs or boxes, over hurdles, over cones, vertical and horizontal jumps). Their usefulness and effectiveness were verified by 3 successive tests: at the beginning, middle, and end of the academic year, through a battery of 7 lower body muscle power tests. The statistical calculation identifies significant increases in performance for both genders for all tests applied, both between the initial and final tests (T1-T3) and over the shorter time intervals/T1-T2 and T2-T3 (p <0.05). For males, we found greater progress in the second semester of the year (T2-T3) for 5 of the 7 tests, so their adaptation is better and they respond to plyometric training better in the second part of the academic year. For females better progress in semester 2 (T2-T3) for 3 of the tests, respectively greater differences at the end of semester 1 (T1-T2) for 3 tests, especially for endurance power and 10 m acceleration. The research results confirm the effectiveness of plyometric exercises in increasing muscle power indicators for the studied student groups and are a useful option for improving fitness levels. The attractiveness and diversity of the used exercises ensured good student engagement in the lessons. Although the improvements are statistically significant, the results do not indicate spectacular increases and are still weaker than the values recorded in most other research. This is because the students involved in our study are not at all concerned about engaging in leisure time physical activities, except for curricular physical education activities, sedentarism being a major problem among young people.
