Why has the countermovement jump become a commonly implemented jump test?

It leads to greater increases in overall muscular power

It is likely to be a more natural movement pattern for athletes

It provides a more reliable measure of jumping velocity

Which assessment is strongly associated with countermovement jump peak force?

Isometric midthigh pull

Single-leg squat

Romanian deadlift

How does the relationship between absolute peak force and 1RM back squat compare to the relationship between relative peak force and 1RM back squat?

Equivocal

Weak

Strong

What outcome measure has been the most popular investigated metric to study the association between countermovement jump and linear speed?

Peak power

Time to take-off

Jump height

What is the association between jump height and change of direction speed?

Small

Moderate

Equivocal

Why do the authors recommend that a more in-depth analysis of linear and change of direction ability be conducted?

To understand the link between proxy measures during jump testing and strategy data during locomotive-based tasks

To determine the most appropriate strength test to conduct for measuring progress in jumping performance

To identify the athletes most likely to succeed in performance tasks that require a balance of speed and power

Which is most applicable for monitoring neuromuscular fatigue?

Peak force

Time to peak power

Jump height

Which limb asymmetry percentage is associated with increased injury risk?

6%

8%

12%

What does mean propulsive force assess during a jump?

Mean force produced during the ascent

Highest rate of doing work during the jump

Product of force and time during the ascent

What does the Reactive Strength Index Modified assess during a jump?

Ratio of peak power to jump height

Ratio of contraction time to jump height

Ratio of jump height to contraction time
