The enhancement of skillful movement is a primary goal of teachers. While much work has focused on the development of strength and power to improve vertical jumping, little has been done to determine appropriate instructional strategies that enhance technique. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of spatial and temporal instructional cues on vertical jump mechanics. Specifically, the goal was to increase vertical jump height through decreased joint range of motion and time of jump. Thirty-three ...
