The role of starting knee angle in squat jump force-velocity profiles: interactions with subjects’ strength levels and imputed push-off distance by Xuelin Qin, Beibei Liu, Ruolin Tang, Yan Liu, Amador García-Ramos, Amador García-Ramos

“…The standardized HpO produced similar outcomes for maximum power (Pmax) and maximum velocity (v0), and more consistent results for F0 and the F-v slope compared to the actual HpO.DiscussionRegardless of strength levels, standardizing HpO at 90° and allowing subjects to select a starting knee angle between 70° and 90° could simplify the evaluation process and improve the comparability of F-v profiles across subjects when using Samozino’s method.…”
