A Biomechanical Analysis of the Contributing Factors to Increases in Vertical Jump Height Following Exercise with Weighted Vests

Background: It has been shown that a bout of jumping exercise with weighted vests increases the subsequent countermovement jump height. However, it is not clear whether the improvement in jump height is due to the enhancement of joint power or due to other mechanisms such as neural adaptations. Met...
