RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE KINETICS AND KINEMATICS OF A UNILATERAL HORIZONTAL DROP JUMP TO SPRINT PERFORMANCE.

The article reports on the study that explores the relationship between the kinematics and kinetics of a single-leg horizontal drop jump (SLDJ) to sprint performance. The study indicates that the SLDJ could account for a high level of variance in sprint time. It also suggests that additional research into the kinetic determinants of jumping and sprinting may allow an individualized exercise prescription for improving certain aspects of sprinting.
