The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of stiffness regulated by landing styles on drop jump performance. Twenty-four male lacrosse athletes performed drop jumps with stiff …

Soft vs. stiff landing The kinematics and muscle action differ when performing a soft vs. a stiff landing. Soft landings involve large ankle, knee and hip flexion; while stiff landings have a …

These results suggested that (1) joint stiffness is determined by active muscle stiffness and electromyographic activity patterns during jumping, and (2) jumping height is determined by …

Apr 21, 2016 · Basically, we’re looking at how effectively an athlete loads and absorbs force as they descend from a jumping movement, while putting themselves in a prime position to re …

Stiffness is a physical quality that is often pursued in the hope of improving jumping ability or max velocity running, and also reducing injury risk. But is it that simple? We asked Sean Maloney …

In this context, we hypothesize that jump landings with greater ankle dorsiflexion excursion may be beneficial to reduce the vGRF loading rate and potentially help prevent overuse injuries. …

Nov 25, 2011 · http://kairosathletics.com/ Quintin Scott and Billy Lee demonstrate how to execute stiff-legged box jumps. This exercise will enhance an athlete's jumping ability and …

Key Points:- Stand feet hip width apart- Squat down and jump into the air- Keep your legs stiff when performing subsequent repetitions. Repetitions to be co...

Sep 16, 2024 · Vertical jump tests are often used in sports and clinical testing to assess performance. Vertical jump tests usually include both squat jumps (SQJ) and …

Twenty-four men performed three kinds of unilateral maximal jump using only the ankle joint (squat jump: SJ; countermovement jump: CMJ; drop jump: DJ) on the sledge apparatus. The …
