| Abstract: | Abstract Cinematographic records were taken of the vertical and standing broad jumps, and strength measurements made of the isometric extensor strength of the hip, knee, and ankle joints for eighteen men and eleven women. A comparison of range of motion of joint actions and maximal angular velocities for men and women indicated distinct time-force coordinations of the various joint actions in the performance of the vertical and standing broad jumps. No general relationship nor pattern of relationships was found between isometric extensor strength and maximal angular velocity. |
