Comparative Study of the Vertical Jumping Ability of Athletes Majoring in Different Sports

Athletes from the sports items of track jumping events, sprint, throwing events, basketball and gymnastics were first subjected to a kinetics test to measure their consecutive vertical jumping ability, and then a comparative analysis was made of the typical value of their consecutive jumping power, the peak power and the gradient value of power. The results show that athletes of jumping events excel those from other sports items in regard to the consecutive jumping power; and gymnastics athletes were found to be relatively weaker in this regard.
