The Orthelligent Pro sensor is a practicable, portable measuring instrument. This study assessed the validity and reliability of this sensor in measuring single-leg countermovement jumps. Fifty healthy athletic adults participated in two measurement sessions a week apart in time. They performed single-leg countermovement jumps on the force plate while wearing the Orthelligent Pro sensor on their lower leg. During the first measurement session, Tester 1 invited the participants to make three single-leg countermovement jumps; subsequently, Tester 2 did the same. For assessing the sensor's intratester reliability, Tester 1 again invited the participants to make three single-leg countermovement jumps during the second measurement session. The sensor's validity was assessed by using the force plate results as the gold standard. To determinate the agreement between two measurements, Bland-Altman plots were created. The intertester reliability (ICC = 0.99; 0.97) and intratester reliability (ICC = 0.96; 0.82) were both excellent. The validity calculated (i) on the basis of the mean value of three jumps and (ii) on the basis of the maximum value of three jumps was very high, but it showed a systematic error. Taking this error into account, physiotherapists can use the Orthelligent Pro sensor as a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the jump height of countermovement jumps.

Effects of blood flow restriction moderate intensity interval training on aerobic and anaerobic capabilities and lower extremity performance in male college basketball players.

School of Athletic Training, Guangzhou Sport University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.
This study investigated whether blood flow restriction moderate-intensity interval training (BFR-MIIT) could achieve or surpass the training effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) at lower training intensities. A total of 33 male college basketball players completed the trial and were randomly assigned to the BFR-MIIT group (n = 17) and the HIIT group (n = 16). Both groups performed the 4 × 4 "Norwegian" training method, with the BFR-MIIT group engaging in moderate-intensity training and the HIIT group in high-intensity training.

Marker-based motion capture is a fundamental tool in biomechanical analysis, yet comes with major constraints such as time, cost and accessibility. This study aimed to validate the use of OpenCap, a free, markerless motion capture system compared to a marker-based motion capture system to measure lower extremity kinematics during functional tasks. 20 individuals from an athletic population (18 females, 2 males) performed two gait trials (walking, running) and three functional tasks (double leg squat, countermovement jump, jump-landing).
