Morphological parameters of soccer players and vertical jump performance: case of senior teams

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to see the correlation between physical indexes and vertical jump in soccer players.

we used the anthropometric method and vertical jump tests in two soccer teams.

20 players per team participated in the study (aged 29 ± 7.97 for the group of students from the ES / STS; and 27 ± 3.34 for the players from the Jeunesse sportive de Kabylie).

two tests of vertical jump were carried out: the squat jump and the countermovement jump.

anthropometric measurements were used to determine physical indexes the results showed a significant correlation between vertical jump and morphological parameters.

we can deduce that the comparison between the two teams showed several significant differences in four morphological parameters and the power coefficient.
