Differences in Vertical Jump Force-Time Characteristics between Stronger and Weaker Adolescent Basketball Players.

The countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) are commonly used to compare one's force capacity during dynamic and isometric assessments, respectively. However, little research has investigated the influence of maximum isometric strength on drop-jump (DJ) performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore differences in CMJ and DJ force-time characteristics between stronger and weaker adolescent male basketball players.
