ExerciseVariable
110° cutCompletion time, ground contact time, horizontal to vertical ratio
45° cutCompletion time, ground contact time, horizontal to vertical ratio
Drop-jumpGround contact time, jump height
Drop-landingTime to stabilisation, impulse during the first 50 ms, vertical stiffness
Squat-jumpJump time, jump height, impulse during the first 50 ms
IMTPMedian force, RFD to peak force, RFD during the first 50 ms
  • IMTP, Isometric mid-thigh pull; RFD, Rate of force development.
