The role of starting knee angle in squat jump force-velocity profiles: interactions with subjects’ strength levels and imputed push-off distance by Xuelin Qin, Beibei Liu, Ruolin Tang, Yan Liu, Amador García-Ramos, Amador García-Ramos

“…IntroductionThis study investigated whether differences in the force-velocity (F-v) profile obtained using Samozino’s method during squat jumps (SJ) performed at varying knee angles are influenced by subjects’ strength levels and the push-off distance (HpO) used in the analysis.MethodsTwenty-one resistance-trained men were classified as stronger (n = 10) or weaker (n = 11) based on the external load required to achieve a 10 cm SJ height. F-v profiles were randomly assessed over three sessions, with SJs performed at starting knee angles of 70° (SJ70), 90° (SJ90), and 110° (SJ110), using either the actual HpO specific to each condition or a standardized HpO corresponding to SJ90.ResultsSignificant differences between SJ types were observed for maximum force (F0) and the F-v slope (SJ110 > SJ90 > SJ70). …”
