Six male college long jumpers volunteered as subjects
to determine the kinematic differences between depth jumps
from 0.75 m and 1.10 m, and long jump take-off. The variables
examined were approach and take-off vertical, horizontal
and resultant velocities with contact time and
angles of take-off.
Subjects undertook six depth jump...
Twenty-seven male college football linemen from the Oregon State
University football team served as subjects for the study to determine
