Motion analysis for different type of Jumping

Abstract

Jumping is another type of motion analysis. We have long jump, triple jump, static jump and leap frog jump. The long jump which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to land as far from the take-off point as possible. The triple jump occurred when the athlete runs down a runway until he reaches a designated mark, from which the jump is measured. The leap frog jump means jumping by both foots by maintains subjects kneels or bends over for the next jump. The static jump means jumping with both foots at one place. In this study, we will acquire the force, moment and center of pressure. This experiment will consist of subjects standing on two feet, wearing and not wearing shoes. The comparison will be made between long jump vs triple jump and static jump vs leap frog jump. The experiment was held at Biomechanic and Motion Analysis Laboratory, UniMAP. Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) software been used for this purpose where this software aid us in analyzing motion of the subject as shown in Figure 1. Two Bertec force plate and five high frequency cameras were used to capture the motion of the subjects while doing the experiment. The result shown force exerted at toe will be highest in leap frog jump compare to others.
