Case Report: Monitoring neuromuscular fatigue through jump performance over two seasons in a cerebral palsy sprinter
The Para athlete demonstrated improved performance over two seasons and didn't sustain any injuries. These findings suggest that monitoring jump performance is a valuable and practical method for tracking training loads and predicting sprint performance. Further, longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the applicability of vertical jumps as a tool for coaches to monitor training load and performance across athletes with CP from various track classifications and event types.
