“…The inclusion of peak power at the knee and ankle joints in the overall regression model supports previous claims that CMJ performance is positively associated with lower-limb power (Ashley & Weiss, 1994;Nuzzo et al, 2008;Sheppard et al, 2008;Vanezis & Lees, 2005). The work-energy-power relationship makes it inevitable that greater joint powers result in more positive work done and so greater total body kinetic energy and mass centre vertical velocities at take-off.…”

“…As an indicator of maximal capabilities of the knee extensor musculature, a greater peak isometric knee extension torque enables greater joint torques and powers to be produced during the CMJ. However, whilst the inclusion of peak isometric torque in the isometric regression furthers the existing evidence for a relationship between strength and CMJ height (Ashley & Weiss, 1994;Sheppard et al, 2008;Wisløff et al, 2004), CMJ peak knee power explained a much greater proportion of the performance variation (44% versus 18%). Similarly, Young, Wilson, and Byrne (1999) showed that CMJ height is more closely related to measures of speedstrength qualities than maximum strength.…”

“…Research has shown positive relationships between lower-limb strength and power measures and CMJ performance (Ashley & Weiss, 1994;Nuzzo, McBride, Cormie, & McCaulley, 2008;Sheppard et al, 2008;Wisløff, Castagna, Helgerud, Jones, & Hoff, 2004). However, further research is needed to explain quantitatively the relative contributions of kinetic and kinematic variables to this movement.…”

This study aimed to investigate the contributions of kinetic and kinematic parameters to inter-individual variation in countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Two-dimensional kinematic data and ground reaction forces during a CMJ were recorded for 18 males of varying jumping experience.Ten kinetic and eight kinematic parameters were determined for each performance, describing peak lower-limb joint torques and powers, concentric knee extension rate of torque development, and CMJ technique. Participants also completed a series of isometric knee extensions to measure rate of torque development and peak torque. CMJ height ranged from 0.38 -0.73 m (mean 0.55 ± 0.09 m). CMJ peak knee power, peak ankle power, and take-off shoulder angle explained 74% of this observed variation. CMJ kinematic (58%) and CMJ kinetic (57%) parameters explained a much larger proportion of the jump height variation than the isometric parameters (18%), suggesting that coachable technique factors and the joint kinetics during the jump are important determinants of CMJ performance. Technique, specifically greater ankle plantar-flexion and shoulder flexion at take-off (together explaining 58% of the CMJ height variation), likely influences the extent to which maximal muscle capabilities can be utilised during the jump.

“…Jumping and sprinting are naturally occurring multi-joint movements in humans that involve the coordinated participation of the majority of lower limb muscles (Ashley and Weiss 1994;Brown and Weir 2001). On one hand, we believe that the tests we used for muscle phenotype assessment represent both a novelty and a strength of our study versus previous reports in the field that used other tests for muscle power assessment, e.g.…”

Does the ACE I/D polymorphism, alone or in combination with the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism, influence muscle power phenotypes in young, non-athletic adults?

We investigated the association of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism, alone or in combination with the a-actinin-3 gene (ACTN3) R577X polymorphism, with jumping (vertical squat and counter-movement jump tests) and sprint ability (30 m dash) in non-athletic, healthy young adults [N -281 (214 male), mean (SD) age 21 (2) years]. We did not observe any effect of the ACE I/D polymorphism on study phenotypes. We repeated the analyses separately in men and women and the results did not materially change. Likewise, the mean estimates of the study phenotypes were similar in subjects with the genotype combinations ACE II + ID and ACTN3 XX or ACE DD and ACTN3 RR + RX. We found no association between the ACE DD and ACTN3 RR + RX genotype combination and performance (>90th of the sex-specific

The basic purpose of this study was to investigate of the relationships with sprint and jump performance of velocity parameters during propulsive phase of full back squat exercise and to determine which variable was associated with which loading loading. For this purpose, thirty-two men amateur athletes (age: 20.4 ± 1.98 years; height: 179.3 ± 7.23 cm; weight: 73.5 ± 9.85 kg) who actively involved in sports and have a basic level of force participated in voluntarily to this study. In the study, one repetition maximum (1RM) full squat (SQ) strength test, vertical jump test, 5 meters and 30 meters sprint test were applied. The descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis was used for statistical evaluation of datas. According to analysis results; it was obtained that mean velocity (MV), mean propulsive velocity (MPV) and peak velocity (PV) values during propulsive phase of full back squat exercise performed in different loads were decreased in parallel with load increase. In addition, it was obtained that there was no statistically a significant relationships between 5 meters sprint times and vertical jump performance with MV, MPV and PV values during propulsive phase of full back SQ exercise performed at different loads of 1RM (p > 0.05). Conversely, it was obtained that there was a mean level, negative and statistically significant relationship between 30 meters sprint times with MV during propulsive phase of full back SQ movement performed at 20 % and % 90 of 1RM load values (r = -.412; r = -.399, p < 0.05, respectively) and PV values obtained at 40 % and 60 % of 1RM load values (r = -.402; r = -.370, p < 0.05, respectively). Consequently, it was suggested that movement velocity is not an important component for performance parameters as 5 meter sprint and jumping height.
