BIOMONITORING OF ELITE WOMEN TRIPLE-JUMPERS’ ELASTIC FORCE

Sport Mont 2013, XI(37-38-39), 479-483

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyse kinematic and dynamic parameters of elastic force of elite women triple jumpers. The elastic force, in combination with horizontal velocity, is the most important factor of success in a triple jump. To establish the elastic force we conducted a biomechanical analysis, using drop jumps from the heights of 25 and 45 cm. The basic kinematic and dynamic parameters were registered using the Kistler Type 9286 bipedal force platform which had been synchronised with a 3D infra-red kinematic system CCD Smart – 600 E. Based on kinematic and dynamic analysis we can establish that the results in drop jumps are generated by the following variables: jump height, contact time, vertical velocity of takeoff, force impulse and the eccentric phase.
