Analysing the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) Force Time Curve: Part 1

In this video, we dive into the intricacies of force-time curves from a countermovement jump (CMJ) to help you visually assess and understand the different shapes and phases of the curve. We break down the phases of the countermovement jump, including the eccentric, amortization, and concentric phases, highlighting the importance of these phases in assessing athletic performance. See real examples of force-time curves, learn how to ensure proper data quality, and understand the differences between unimodal and bimodal jumps.
