Description
In the context of college basketball, vertical jump has become a crucial predictor of muscle power. For evaluations, the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and the Non-Countermovement Jump (SJ) are mainly used. In addition, it is important to mention that as performance indicators they are closely related to: the intensity of the game, changes of direction, sprints and other specific movements depending on the position on the court.
The CMJ is a reliable predictive instrument to recognize performance in sports that demand high-intensity and intermittent efforts. The power recorded in the CMJ is also directly related to acceleration. Playing positions influence power, for example in basketball, point guards usually have the greatest jumping power.
The CMJ Jump, evaluated using the Bosco Test, is especially relevant in the explosive elastic manifestation of strength. At the competition level in team sports such as volleyball, soccer and basketball, improving vertical jump is closely related to sprinting and change of direction (COD) ability. Reactive strength index (RSI) and modified reactive strength index (RSImod) are also important indicators for evaluating vertical height and jumping performance in these sports.
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the vertical jump between male and female basketball players of the representative teams of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica and the Autonomous University of Querétaro. Its scope is descriptive by characterizing variables such as speed, height and flight time of the jump, as well as determining correlations between the indicators of the vertical jump, power and playing position. The design is non-experimental, since no variables are modified and there is no intervention before or after the measurement.
