The purpose of the present study was to identify the effect of additional elastic force on the kinetic and kinematic characteristics as well as the magnitude of leg stiffness during the performance of accentuated CMJs. Fifteen trained male subjects performed three types of CMJ including FCMJ (i.e. b...
