The relationship between jump and sprint performance in preschool children

Physical activity may help prevent the development of adverse health disorders in children. Thus, it is fundamental to assess key physical skills, such as jumping and running, from an early age. Several studies proposed test batteries to evaluate these motor skills in preschoolers, but no research studied their association. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between jump performance, including force production parameters, and sprint performance in preschool children.
