Countermovement Jump as Tool to Predict Injuries in High-Performance Youth Volleyball and Basketball Players: A One-Season Observational Prospective Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to determine whether weekly countermovement jump (CMJ) performance could predict injuries in high-performance youth volleyball and basketball players over a season. They found that reductions in CMJ performance were significantly associated with an increased risk of lower limb injuries, while preseason CMJ measurements did not effectively predict injuries later in the season. The study suggests that monitoring weekly CMJ performance may be a valuable tool for injury prevention in these athletes.
