A COMPARISON OF METHODS USED TO IDENTIFY 'OPTIMAL' DROP HEIGHT FOR EARLY PHASE ADAPTATIONS IN DEPTH JUMP TRAINING.

The article presents the results of a study which compared the use of two methods for identifying the drop height at which depth jump plyometric training ought to begin. An overview of related previous research is provided, along with details of the experimental protocol. The study found that the reactive strength index (RSI) could be effective for the countermovement jump, but the maximum jump height (MJH) method was better for improving reaction strength.
