Associations between the performance of vertical jump and accelerative sprint in elite sprinters
This study confirms that key countermovement jump and squat jump metrics, especially jump height and flight time, are significantly associated with sprint acceleration in elite athletes. These findings support the use of jump tests as practical tools to monitor and enhance acceleration performance through targeted lower-limb power training.
