Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different countermovement jump (CMJ) depths affect performance metrics like jump height, muscle activation, and motion analysis.
- It tested three variations of CMJs: self-selected depth, shallow (15% less), and deep (15% more), involving ten healthy male participants.
- Results indicated that shallow CMJs significantly reduced jump height by 8% compared to self-selected CMJs, and differences in muscle activation were noted, particularly with the vastus lateralis muscle during the unweighting phase.
