Abstract

The main manifestation of force in the game of basketball is speed force. The most common term for force-velocity is “explosive force”. In essence it is the individual's ability to engage a large number of neuromuscular units in the effort in a short time interval. The evaluation of the basketball players’ vertical jumping ability is a requirement in training juniors because of the multiple implications that ability has on the game technique and tactics. In order to test vertical jumping abilities among U18 junior players we applied a dedicated test used by specialists not only in basketball but also in other sports.
