Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigated how altering the time spent in a drop vertical jump position affects movement mechanics and the risk of ACL injuries, comparing high jumps to quick jumps.
  • - Twenty healthy female students participated by jumping off a 30-cm platform while instructed to perform either a high jump or a quick jump.
  • - Results showed that quick jumps had shorter stance time and different movement characteristics, such as higher knee abduction angles and certain ground reaction forces, indicating they may be more effective for assessing drop vertical jumps consistently.
