The Influence of Optimal Handheld Load on the Technical Ability to Apply Ground Reaction Forces during Horizontal Jumping in Female Netball Players

Abstract Handheld load has been reported to enhance horizontal jump performance, however little is known about its influence on ground reaction forces (GRF), especially in female athletes. This study investigated the effects of individualized optimal handheld loading on the technical and physical ab...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Handheld load has been reported to enhance horizontal jump performance, however little is known about its influence on ground reaction forces (GRF), especially in female athletes. This study investigated the effects of individualized optimal handheld loading on the technical and physical ability to apply GRF during horizontal jumping in female netball players. Maximal effort, single standing, horizontal jumps were performed by 13 female netballers. Participants performed the jumps under 2 conditions: 1) unloaded, and 2) loaded. Eccentric mean horizontal GRF significantly increased with loading ( p
