Sažetak
There are a lot of studies about human (children and adults) bilateral vertical drop jump performance. On the other hand, there are not enough studies about unilateral horizontal drop jump performance. PURPOSE: To investigate the nature of force-kinetics gender differences during unilateral horizontal drop jump performance in children. METHODS: Forty-nine children (23 boys and 26 girls ; age 8 and 9 years) performed 3 trials of unilateral horizontal drop jump performance on take-off leg. Data acquisition was done using force platform (Quattro Jump 9290CD, Kistler, Switzerland). The height of drop jump was 15 cm, while the distance of the starting point to the middle of the force platform was 110 cm. Maximum force in eccentric and concentric muscle activity, as well as maximum rate of force development were analyzed using body weight unit of measurement. T-test for the independent samples was used to calculate statistical significance of gender differences. RESULTS: Although boys produced slightly higher maximum force in eccentric and girls in concentric muscle activity, the differences were not statically significant (P=0, 76 and 0, 12). Maximum rate of force development also showed no statistical difference (P=0, 89) CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed no gender differences in force-kinetics variables between 8 and 9 years old children during unilateral horizontal drop jump performance. In further studies it should be analyzed in older children closer to puberty.
