Kinetical Analysis of Predictive Injury Parameters during Landing in Volleyball Players

The aim of the present study was kinetical analysis of predictive injuries parameters during landing in volleyball players. Eighteen junior male volleyball players were asked to perform three maximal block jump on a force platform. The data of force (Fmax, Fmin), impulse (I), loading rates (LRmax, LRmax-min), time to stabilization (TS), time to peak forces (TPF) and time to maximum to minimum force (TFmax-min) variables were extracted and analyzed Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (r) was employed to investigate possible relationship between kinetics and temporal landing parameters of block jump in participants. The results showed significant correlations between some variables including Fmax with LRmax, LRmax-min and TPF, Fmin with TS, LRmax with Fmax, LRmax-min and TPF, LRmax-min with Fmax, MLR, TPF and TFmax-min, TS with Fmin, TPF with Fmax, LRmax, and LRmax-min, TFmax-min with LRmax-min during landing in volleyball players.
