Fast unilateral isometric knee extension torque development and bilateral jump height

Article Abstract:

A study hypothesized that the initial rate, first 40 minutes, of unilateral knee extensor torque development during a maximally fast isometric contraction would depend on the subjects ability for fast neural activation and that it would predict bilateral jumping performance. Results show high positive linear relations between the first 40 minutes of fast voluntary one-legged knee extension torque development (TTI-40) and two-legged jump performance in a group of healthy, active young males.

Jumping for distance: control of the external force in squat jumps

Article Abstract:

This article investigates whether control in distance jumps is related to control in height jumps. Research suggests jumps for distance may occur when controls for vertical jumps use the "rotation-extension" strategy.
