Relationship between strength characteristics and unweighted and weighted vertical jump height.
Int J Sports Physiol Perform

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how maximum strength relates to jump height differences in both weighted (20 kg) and unweighted conditions during static (SJ) and countermovement jumps (CMJ).
- It involved sixty-three collegiate athletes performing jump trials and force assessments to analyze peak forces and force development rates.
- Results indicated stronger athletes demonstrated higher jump heights and smaller decreases in jump height under added weight, suggesting that weighted jumps can be useful for evaluating strength levels.
