  Dynamics of Vertical Jumps Dr Stelios G. Psycharakis School of Life, Sport Social Sciences, Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, UK Introduction A vertical jump is a movement that is used in a plethora of sports. The primary goal of a vertical jump is normally to reach the greatest possible height. Other goals could include hitting an object such as a football or a tennis ball, intercepting the path of an object such as a basketball or volleyball etc. Because of the frequent use and the importance of the vertical jump in many different sports, the ability of an athlete in vertical jumping is often linked to successful performance in a sport and is sometimes considered an indicator of overall athletic ability. For example, vertical jump performance has been linked to maximum sprinting velocity (Kale et al., 2009) and weightlifting ability (Vizcaya et al., 2009). There is a variety of different vertical jumps that an athlete can perform, depending on: position (static or following a run-up); take-off (from one foot or both feet); arm movement (with or without an arm-swing), and; legs movement (counter-movement or squat). The purpose of the present study was to compare two types of static jump with take-off from both feet: a counter-movement jump with an arm-swing (CMJ-AS) and a squat jump with no arm swing (SJ-NAS). Methods One male participant (age: 29.8 years, height: 178.5cm, body mass: 79.3kg) who was an active recreational athlete performed a standardised 10-min warm-up before participating in this study. The warm-up included elements of static and dynamic stretching, a light jog and some jumping drills. Followin
