Abstract
High jump is a power-demanding motor task. Jumpers extend the take-off leg joints with maximum effort, but kinetic requirements (i.e. torque/power) for each joint are unclear. Here we show the inter-joint differences in the kinetic exertion related to the flight height in high jump trials by 16 male high jumpers (personal best record: 1.90-2.35 m). For the knee joint, both maximum net power and maximum norm of torque were significantly and positively correlated with flight height, with a stronger correlation for maximum net power (r = 0.70) than for maximum norm of torque (r = 0.52). For the hip joint, maximum norm of torque was significantly correlated with flight height (r = 0.62), but maximum net power (r = 0.36) was not. Both torque and power exhibited the proximal-to-distal sequence (from hip to ankle). The norm of ground reaction force peaked almost simultaneously with the hip torque while external net power peaked with knee power. We suggest that the required musculoskeletal function of each joint differs even in the same task. We suggest that it may be effective to adapt the different training programme between joints to improve performance. Jumpers should prioritise torque exertion for the hip and power exertion for the knee.
期刊介绍:
Sports Biomechanics is the Thomson Reuters listed scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic).
Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on ''reader friendliness''. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly.
Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.
