Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the contributions made by the leg muscle groups to the work done in standing broad and vertical jumping. A secondary purpose was to examine the principles of summation and continuity of joint forces as they apply to these jumps. Twelve subjects were filmed while jumping from a force platform. They performed a minimum of three maximal standing broad and vertical jumps, with countermovements and use of the arms permitted. The jumps were filmed at a rate of 50 frames per second while, synchronously, ground reaction force data were collected at 50 Hz. Link segment analysis and inverse dynamics methods were used to compute the net muscle moments of force and the power and work outputs created by these moments of force. The jumps were examined over two time periods, during both the propulsive phase of jumping and the entire jump. The work-energy approach was used to determine the relative contributions of the muscles crossing the ankle, knee and hip joints to the total work done at the leg joints. A work-energy analysis (i.e. the ratio of net mechanical work done at 6 joints to the gain in total mechanical energy) for the two types of jumps during the two time intervals of interest produced values all less than 1.0. This suggests that there were other sources of work that subjects were using and which were not measured in the analysis. As well, this suggests that the link segment model utilized may not have been appropriate for all subjects. For the standing broad jump the contributions of the ankle, knee and hip muscles during the propulsive phase were 30.2, 18.6 and 51.2 percent, respectively, while their contributions over the entire jump were 31.5, 17.0 and 51.5 percent, respectively. The respective contributions of the ankle, knee and hip joints for the vertical jump during the propulsive phase were 33.0, 24.8 and 42.2 percent and over the entire jump the contributions were 39.2 (ankle), 22.4 (knee) and 38.4 (hip) percent. Two-tailed correlated t-tests were done to check for differences in relative contributions of both the ankle and knee joints to the work done at the leg joints in standing broad and vertical jumping. The only significant difference (p<.01) occurred at the ankle joint over the entire jump. Relatively, the muscles crossing the ankle joint did significantly more work in vertical jumping than in standing broad jumping. One-way ANOVAs with repeated measures were utilized to test the differences between relative joint contributions for each type of jump during the two time periods examined. Neuman-Keuls post hoc method was used to evaluate the multiple pairwise comparisons. There were two main findings. First, over the entire jump, the muscles crossing the hip joint did significantly more work than those of the knee joint during both standing broad (p<.01) and vertical jumping (p<.05). Then for the propulsive phase, there was significantly more work generated at the hip joint than at either the knee joint or the ankle joint during both vertical jumping (knee: p<.01; ankle: p<.05) and standing broad jumping (knee: p<.01; ankle: p<.01). Results for the evaluation of the summation and continuity principles supported the principle of summation of joint forces as the muscles of all three leg joints, for all subjects, were net generators of positive work during the propulsive phase of standing broad and vertical jumping. The continuity of joint forces principle, however, was not fully supported as the sequencing of muscular contractions was not always from proximal to distal as expected.

Abstract:
This is an empirical study which investigates the possibility of isolating the muscle's contractile component in dynamic jump training exercises. Cavagna, et al.(1968); Asmussen and Bonde-Petersen, (1974); Komi and Bosco, (1978) are some of the researchers confirming the presence of elastic energy in lengthened (stretched) human muscle. This recoil energy provides an additive effect when integrated with the human muscle's contractile component during dynamic muscular contractions. Komi and Bosco (1978) asserted that the rate of stretching the muscle immediately prior to the concentric contraction is the key to producing higher levels of recoil energy. Plyometric exercises, such as depth jumping, exploit this characteristic in jump training. Cavagna, et al. (1971) suggested that speed of shortening by the contractile component is the limiting factor in integrating this recoil energy with the concentric contraction. This identifies to this researcher, that by eliminating recoil energy and isolating the contractile component in jump training, greater long term jumping improvement may be achieved more efficiently over a shorter training period. To eliminate the recoil energy in a dynamic vertical jumping movement the. eccentric contraction phase is slowed by an absorbent jumping/landing surface. Three types of vertical jumps (a squat jump, a countermovement jump and a depth jump from a 0.40 m height) were performed by 15 female subjects on two types of jumping/landing surfaces. A Kistler Force Plate is the "normal" 1anding/jumping surface; a foam pad (0.64 x 0.44 x 0.20 m) placed upon the Kistler Force Plate is the "absorbent" jumping/landing surface. The data collected comprised: Height jumped, generated positive mechanical work, accrued negative mechanical work, change in positive mechanical work with respect to the squat jump, and height of drop for each depth jump. This study found a significant difference at the 0.01 level between a "normal" and an "absorbent" jumping/landing surface when performing vertical jumps. Enhanced mechanical work was observed for the countermovement and depth jumps with respect to the squat jump.(the baseline measure of the contractile component's ability to do mechanical work). This enhanced work was attributed to the recovery of stored recoil energy and converted to a percentage of recovered eccentric energy (reduced potential energy). The "normal" surface showed a recovery of 13.4% and 4.8% for the countermovement jump and depth jump respectively; similarly, the "absorbent" surface showed recovery of 11.3% and -0.5%. These results indicate that a highly absorbent jumping/landing surface degrades the recovery of stored recoil energy in depth jumping; and can be used to eliminate recoil energy in plyometric training, specifically depth jumptraining.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to initiate the development of a database of values for the five-hop and vertical jump field tests for dominant and non-dominant legs in youth nine to seventeen years of age. Two hundred one youths, 102 males and 99 females, participated in all facets of the study. One trial of the five-hop test was performed on each leg and one trial was performed on each leg, then both legs, for the vertical jump test. Stature ranged from 1.41 ± 0.06 to 1.70 ± 0.07 meters for females and 1.44 ± 0.08 to 1.81 ± 0.06 meters for males. Mass ranged from 34.8 ± 4.8 to 64.3 ± 11.4 kilograms for females and 35.2 ± 10.5 to 73.1 ± 16.0 kilograms for males. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in dominant and non-dominant leg hops between males and females ages 12-17. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in dominant leg vertical jumps between males and females at ages 12-14 and 16-17 and in non-dominant leg vertical jumps at ages 12, 16 and 17. Twelve year olds had a significant difference (p < 0.05) between males and females when dominant leg hop distance was normalized to mass. When comparing non-dominant hop distance to dominant hop distance, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between males and females 15 years of age. Values obtained for this ratio agree with the literature for adult hop ratios and suggest that limb asymmetry/deficiency determination be set at 0.85 for youth.

Abstract:
Over the last two decades, plyometric training has been extensively adopted by athletes, coaches and sport scientists with a primary aim to improve vertical jump height. The focus of these plyometric programmes has been to train the lower-extremity musculature in order to enhance jump performance. However, the lower-extremities are not the only contributing factor to vertical jump performance, as the use of an arm-swing during vertical jumping has also been shown to contribute to achieving maximum vertical jump height, yet training programmes for improving the arm-swing during the vertical jump are limited. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis was to examine the full arm-swing mechanics during vertical jumping, and to then develop and assess the suitability of an upper-extremity plyometric programme for increasing both arm-swing kinematics and jump height. Firstly, a descriptive study was conducted to assess if an arm-swing countermovement was utilised during the vertical jump, which was deemed the prerequisite for using plyometric training to improve the arm-swing. Then an experimental study was conducted comparing vertical jumps performed with and without an arm-swing countermovement. The results showed that jumps performed with an arm-swing countermovement significantly increased mean peak shoulder angular velocity (ω) (+67.5 deg·s-1) and mean jump height (+ 6.2 cm) when compared to jumps performed using no arm-swing countermovement. During the final chapter of this thesis, a group of elite basketball players volunteered to participate in upper-extremity plyometric training aimed at increasing vertical jump height by training only the upper-extremities. Vertical jump height and full body kinematics were analysed using a 3 dimensional (3D) motion capture system, and key kinematic jump variables and various arm-swing performance measurements were collated both before and after a 4 week upper-extremity plyometric intervention. The use of upper-extremity plyometric training significantly increased the mean jump height (+ 7.2 cm), mean peak shoulder ω (+ 167.1 deg·s-1), mean peak frontal shoulder ω (+ 121 deg·s-1) and mean active range of motion at the shoulder joint (+ 5.3°), when compared to a control group. Furthermore, the use of a large active range of motion armswing during the arm-swing countermovement was shown to be the preferred arm-swing condition for increasing arm-swing kinematics. The increase in arm-swing kinematics and jump height after the 4 week upper-extremity plyometric programme was attributed to the participants’ improved ability to use the stretch-shortening cycle, elastic energy transfer system and stretch reflex system. Therefore, the use of upper-extremity plyometric exercises as part of a training regime for improving vertical jump performance should be advocated.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the potential use of net impulse and its characteristics in vertical jumping to monitor athletes' performance status and responses/adaptations to interventions. Five variables were proposed as net impulse characteristics: net impulse height and width, rate of force development, shape factor, and net impulse proportion. The following were then examined: 1) test-retest reliability of a new approach to identify net impulse in a force-time curve and of net impulse characteristics and criterion validity of the new approach; 2) effective measures of net impulse characteristics; 3) relationships between training-induced changes in its characteristics and force production ability. The following are major findings of the dissertation. Rate of force development particularly for the countermovement jump require a large magnitude of change to overcome the variable's inherent variability. Shape factor and net impulse proportion for the static jump should be used with caution and requires further investigations. Alternative net impulse can be used interchangeably to criterion net impulse. Of the proposed net impulse characteristics, net impulse height and width and shape factor were found to contribute to countermovement jump height, whereas all the net impulse characteristics were found to contribute to static jump height. Of the characteristics found to contribute, relative net impulse height (net impulse height divided by system mass) appears to be an important characteristic to achieve a high jump height for the countermovement and static jumps and net impulse proportion for the static jump. A mechanism behind increased countermovement jump height may be an increased countermovement displacement as a result of increased force production ability. A mechanism behind increased static jump height is the increased proportion of the entire positive impulse occupied by net impulse (i.e. increased net impulse proportion). The findings of this dissertation show the possibility of the use of the net impulse characteristics to monitor athletes' performance status and responses/adaptations to interventions. However, because this dissertation was the first to explore the potential use of the net impulse characteristics for athletes' performance monitoring, the existing knowledge is still preliminary and further research is required before practical recommendations are made.

Abstract:
A subject specific forward dynamic 3-actuator torque-driven model of the human musculoskeletal system was created, based on measure- ments of individual subject characteristics. The goal was to simu- late a common strength exercise: squat jump with and without extra load. Hip, knee and ankle resultant net torques were modeled from experimental data. Elastic components were not considered. Two models were created for each joint, and then implemented into sim- ulations. Subsequently they were compared to each other to estab- lished which one best matched actual performances. By analyzing kinematic and kinetic experimental data at the instant of the toe-off, it was shown that accurate joint torque models implemented in a sim- ple computer simulation could reproduce squat jumps. The model that best matched actual jumps was used to optimize jump height performance with and without extra load. A linear decreasing of the jump height was found as the load increased. The load at which the model would not be able to take-off was predicted. In addition, joint and global power outputs for different extra load conditions were es- timated. It seemed that global power output probably suffered from a slight inaccuracy of simulated vertical ground reaction forces. It was concluded that a computational approach combined with exper- imental data, is an original way to conduct research in strength and conditioning training. It would help coaches, athletes and scientists to better understand human performances. This investigation is the first step in a wider project aiming to evaluate the advantages of the individual subject approach for understanding strength exercise tasks.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract</em>.—Low-head barriers against invasive sea lampreys <em>Petromyzon marinus</em> in the Great Lakes are designed to maintain a minimum crest height of 30 cm and have a lip on the crest to prevent them from climbing over the barrier. We tested the ability of migratory-phase sea lampreys to scale inclined ramps with shallow (0.7–5 cm) water depth. We predicted that sea lampreys would jump the barrier and that their ability to attach would increase passage success. A recirculating flume and ramp with a vertical height of 10–30 cm and an inclination between 308 and 608 were used to evaluate lamprey climbing ability. Lampreys trying to scale the ramp were monitored by passive integrated transponder tag readers and low-light video cameras. No lampreys were observed jumping out of the water to scale a barrier. Independent of ramp angle, no fish passed over a 30-cm ramp. Lampreys often attached themselves to the ramp, but without a gain of vertical height between repeated attempts. The success rate at lower ramp heights varied between 0% (15 cm height, 308 angle) and 63% (10 cm height, 608 angle). Only ramps shorter than half the body length of the lampreys could be surmounted. Apparently, the lampreys had to have their dorso-ventral fins fully submerged in the downstream pool to create enough propulsion to scale a ramp in burst-swimming mode. An analysis of 1,300 passage attempts in a field-validation experiment showed a greater apparent motivation to move up a ramp but reconfirmed our laboratory findings on passage technique and maximum performance. We conclude that sea lamprey barrier height could be further reduced and that an overhanging lip is not necessary as sea lampreys neither climb nor jump over barriers. A ramp with a shallow inclination and moderate vertical height and water flow is a new design suggestion for a barrier that blocks sea lampreys and may allow other fish species to pass.

Abstract:
This paper develops a control strategy to produce vertical jumps in a planar biped robot as a preliminary investigation into dynamic maneuvers. The control strategy was broken into two functional levels to separately solve the problems of coordination and execution of the jump maneuver. A high-level fuzzy controller addresses the complexities that arise from the system’s hybrid nonlinear dynamics and series-elastic actuators embedded in the articulated legs. A novel fuzzy training scheme is used because the system is too complex for traditional training methods. A low-level controller is based on a state machine that sequences the legs through the phases of a jump. The modular nature of the control strategy allows quick adaptation to other dynamic maneuvers. Validity is demonstrated through dynamic simulation and testing with the experimental biped KURMET which result in stable successive jumps over a range of heights.

Abstract:
Jumping is a natural exertion that occurs during a variety of human activities including playing sports, working, skateboarding, dancing, escaping from hazardous events, rescue activities, and many others. During jumping, the ankles in particular are expected to support the entire body weight of the jumper and that may lead to ankle injuries. Each year hundreds of patients are treated for ankle sprains/strains with ankle fractures as one of the most common injuries treated by orthopedists and podiatrists. The knee joint is also considered the most-often injured joint in the entire human body. Although the general anatomy of the lower extremities is fairly well understood, an understanding of the injury mechanism during these jumping tasks is not well understood. The aim of this study is to determine the reaction forces exerted on legs and joints due to vertical jumps, through musculoskeletal simulation and experimental studies to better understand the dynamic jump process and the injury mechanism. The joint reaction forces and moments exerted on the ankle, knee and hip joint during takeoff and extreme squat landing of a vertical jump were determined through the application of musculoskeletal simulation. It is concluded that during extreme squat landing of a vertical jump, joint reaction forces and moments were highest in proximal/distal and anteroposterior direction may cause most likely injury to the hip joint ligaments, ankle fracture and knee joint, respectively.

Abstract:
The fiber type composition of human limb muscles is believed to influence explosive movement ability. Indirect evidence is found in data from power athletes, who tend to have a greater percentage of fast twitch (FT) muscle fibers, and a lower percentage of slow twitch (ST) fibers, than endurance athletes [e.g., 1]. The apparent advantage of having a high proportion of FT fibers in explosive activities is reinforced by the existence of significant positive correlations between the percentage of FT fibers and jump height [e.g., 2].

Abstract:
The height of the jump-outs should be low enough for the target species to readily jump down to the safe side, or the habitat side, of the fence. At the same time, the jump-outs should be high enough to discourage animals that are on the habitat side of the fence from jumping up into the fenced road corridor. Previous research along US Hwy 93 North in Montana showed that only about 32% of the mule deer and about 7% of the white-tailed deer that appeared on top of the jump-outs, jumped down to safety. For this project, 10 of the jump-outs along US Hwy 93 North were lowered in height and provided with a bar on top. The height of the bars (made from rebar) and their setback from the vertical face of the jump-outs was adjustable and the researchers applied 4 different treatments: 2 different heights (18 and 15 inches) and 3 different setbacks (4, 12, and 15 inches). The overall effectiveness of the lowered jump-outs in allowing white-tailed deer to jump down, regardless of the height and setback of the bar, was only just above 5% (no improvement). For mule deer the effectiveness of the lowered jump-outs in allowing them to jump down, regardless of the height and setback of the bar, was about 64% (this was double the effectiveness of non-modified jump-outs).
