1The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of the lower limb joint moments on 2 the horizontal and vertical velocities of the body mass center during jumping in different 3 directions. Ten male university students performed forward, vertical, and backward jumps, 4 during which their jumping motion (150 Hz) and ground reaction force (600 Hz) were 5 collected. Induced acceleration analysis was performed to quantify the body mass center 6 velocity produced by each joint moment. In all jump conditions, the hip, knee, and ankle 7 joints exerted extension and plantarflexion moments, and most of vertical velocity of the 8 body mass center was produced by the ankle moment. Additionally, the knee moment Advance Publication by J-STAGE
