Abstract

Vertical jump performance is of a high importance in order to achieve sporting success in both team and individual sports. The purpose of our study was to describe the force generation in basketball players. An additional purpose was to compare SJ and CMJ force generation among male basketball players and non-trained males. Basketball players jumped higher produced higher peak force and higher power than non-trained males in SJ and CMJ, however both had the same impulse time.
