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.
