Jernej Pleša; Žiga Kozinc; Chris Bishop; Nejc Šarabon – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
We investigated the associations and differences between dynamic strength index (DSI) calculated from different types of vertical jump (countermovement jump; CMJ and squat jump; SJ) and different isometric knee joint angles (30, 60 and 90[degrees]), and associations with force-velocity (FV) profile and its constituent variables (maximal…

Lee, Joey A.; Velthoff, Jessica; Welk, Greg J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The study examined the sensitivity to change of field assessments of handgrip strength and vertical jump following programmatic interventions in physical education settings. Using a naturalistic experimental design, classes of 6th grade students (N = 158) were randomized to receive either an 8-week musculoskeletal strength or plyometric power…

Sherman, Todd; Barfield, J. P. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
This study was designed to investigate the equivalence reliability between the suggested FITNESSGRAM[R] muscular strength and endurance test, the 90[degrees] push-up (PSU), and alternate FITNESSGRAM[R] tests of upper-body strength and endurance (i.e., modified pull-up [MPU], flexed-arm hang [FAH], and pull-up [PU]). Children (N = 383) in Grades 3…
