And, in another article:

Quote:
Six elite male high jumpers were subject to tests that enabled the researchers to determine the power and speed of the jumper’s joint motions at take-off. It was discovered that the arms had a greater influence on take-off performance than the free leg. This seemed to be as a result of the limited ability of the free leg to drive further ‘into’ the jump once the take-off foot was grounded and extending into the jump, and was in contrast with the ability of the arms to drive more forcibly ‘through’ into the jump.


Quote:
For example, while a flat-footed landing depth jump will develop some jumping power, it may not optimally transfer into the specific performance requirements of an athlete in a specific sport. To give some examples:

* A sprinter may benefit more from forefoot, single-leg-landing depth jumps, as the sprint action is performed from a similar foot-strike position;
* A basketball or volleyball player may derive greater vertical spring (a key requirement of their games) by using flat-footed, single- and double-leg-landing depth jumps.

Great article man, I guess this is what I am currently working on through heavy weight lifting and low impact plyometrics (ankle hops), making my tendons stronger and more elastic.

Also this agrees with something I read, possible in VJB, that when you land it should be with little ankle and knee flexation so that the energy is absorbed and can be transferred easily.

depth jumps cause lupus
