Seasonal Shifts In Jumping Patterns: A Study Of Countermovement Jump Strategies In High School Football Athletes, Alexa L. Lobato, Samuel T. Lauman, Lindsey C. Hartland, Lucy H. Phan, John P. Abt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Modern sporting trends have begun to adopt sport science and load monitoring to identify in-season trends with the goal of improving performance and reducing injury. Although these resources have become increasingly common in professional and collegiate sports, many high school athletic programs have yet to adopt such technologies. While previous research has demonstrated season-long changes in jump performance, no research has investigated the impact of in-season demands on the changes in jump strategy in male high school football athletes. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in jump strategy in high school football players over a …

Countermovement Jump Performance Trends In High School Football Players Throughout A Competitive Season, Samuel T. Lauman, Alexa L. Lobato, Lindsey C. Hartland, Lucy H. Phan, John P. Abt

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Football is the largest participation sport amongst male high school athletes in the country with over one million participants. Previous research has demonstrated that countermovement jump (CMJ) performance is negatively affected by in-season fatigue in contact sports such as rugby and hockey. However, little data are available to describe how CMJ performance and force metrics change in high school athletes throughout a competitive football season. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in strength and power metrics in high school football players over a single football season. METHODS: Sixty-nine male high school football athletes …
