Assessing Neuromuscular Performance: Vertical Jump, Leg Press, and Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull

The vertical jump height performed through counter movement jump test was assessed by Optojump Next (Microgate, Italy) in UP, DOWN, and CON [28 (link)]. The one-repetition maximum (1-RM) at the leg press (Technogym, Italy) was estimated using the methodology developed by Brzycki [29 (link)] after performing several (eight to ten) repetitions to fatigue in UP, DOWN, and CON. This test estimates the maximal weight an individual can lift for only one repetition [29 (link)]. Subjects were trained in the correct technique before assessment. Additionally, in UP and DOWN, the maximal voluntary contraction force of the lower limbs evaluated through a 5 s isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Test [30 (link)] was measured using a strain-gauge transducer (Deltatech, Italy) and PowerLab (ADInstruments, USA) as previously done [31 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
