A vertical jumping performance with and without arms swing by using a dynamometric platform

The aim of this work is to show, to which the swings of arms are applied, is effective to perform vertical jumping movements by using a dynamometric platform. The force plate's analog to digital convector and range amplifier was electronically zeroed and calibrated prior to each subject's. In this paper two vertical jumping can be performed with and without an arm swing. The reported data and signals were obtained from an athlete who is familiar with performing a correct jump. The best jumping recording by the force platform are presented. Consequently, it is concluded that the swings of arms contribute to high-performance jumping movements.
