Background
To date, jumping motions have been studied by many researchers in the field of biomechanics. One of the major purposes of those preceding studies was to investigate the coordination strategy of the human body during explosive activities. Interesting findings have been reported in numerous studies [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], which utilized various forms of vertical jump motions as the subject. There are several major reasons why vertical jump motions have been studied so frequently. One of them is that vertical jump motions are frequently performed in sports ...
