Factors contributing to jump heights in two-foot running jumps with and without a basketball.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Two-foot running jumps (TFRJs) are used by basketball players during games and evaluations for maximum jump height with or without a ball. Prior research on TFRJs performed by volleyball players revealed whole-body kinematics and kinetics variables that contribute to jump height, though it is unknown whether these variables contribute to jump height similarly in TFRJs performed by basketball players, and whether there are differences in how different variables relate to jump height in TFRJs. The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between jump height and whole-body kinematics and kinetics variables in both TFRJs with and without a ball.

Methods

Fifteen male and six female recreational to collegiate basketball players performed TFRJs with and w
