Influence of Box Height on Inter-Limb Asymmetry and Box Jump Performance

Box jumps are often included in training programs as an introductory exercise to novice athletes and untrained individuals efficient option of lower-body explosiveness training. However, it is unclear whether the use boxes differing heights affect inter-limb asymmetry during this exercise. The purpose study investigate effect box height jumps. Recreationally active young males (n = 14) females 16) performed three at that corresponded approximately 0, 20, 40, 60, 80% their individual countermovement selected performance variables were peak force (PF), power (PP), rate development (RFD), time take-off (TToff). intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.76 0.99, coefficient variation 4.03 16.52%. A series one-way repeated measures ANOVA tests used test for significant differences asymmetries. females’ PF was significantly higher 0% (p < 0.05). No observed across ≥ 0.25). This shows does not overall intra-session asymmetries recreationally individuals.
