An analysis of two grown men groaning and moaning

Computer Applications in Sport Prepared by Ian Lahay, Cam Wulff, Alex Sessa & Dave Carson

Hypothesis Performance Analysis Data Collection Assessment Future Technology Sport Impact Competitors Errors/Accuracy Summary

The more one jumps, the less height he or she will be able to achieve during a one minute counter movement jump squat

Using a forth generation IPod, we filmed Ian and Alex from a sagittal perspective Each had to complete a one minute counter movement jump squat Video was analyzed using the application Kinovea, data was recorded in Microsoft Excel

Based on our data, our hypothesis is confirmed The more one jumps, the less height he or she will be able to achieve during a one minute counter movement jump squat
