Abstract:Kinematic and kinetic changes in the lower extremities occur as an athlete becomes fatigued during vertical jumping; however, the specifics of these changes are not well-understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify the influence of a sport-specific, vertical jumping fatigue protocol on the biomechanics of the ankle, knee, and hip joint. Twenty male varsity athletes performed repetitive standing countermovement squat jumps every 20 s until fatigued (vertical jump and reach height decreased t… Show more
