Abstract

Objective To explore characteristics of vertical jump ability by age and gender and its correlation with anthropological variables among adolescents aged 12-15. Methods A total of 1 280 adolescents aged 12-15 years were recruited from 15 middle schools in 9 provinces and cities in China. The Smartjump contact mat, an assessing vertical jump system, was used to measure the squat jump height (SJ-H), countermovement jump height (CMJ-H), left-leg countermovement jump height (LCMJ-H) and right-leg countermovement jump height (RCMJ-H). The eccentric utilization ratio (EUR) was calculated as the ratio between CMJ-H and SJ-H. Data on height, weight, body mass index (BMI), calf circumference, and foot length of participants were collected. The differences in vertical jump ability by age and gender were compared by using a one-way ANOVA and the correlation between vertical jump ability and anthropological variables was analyzed by using a partial correlation analysis. Results The SJ-H (29.3-37.0 cm), CMJ-H (30.8-39.9 cm), LCMJ-H (15.1-19.2 cm) and RCMJ-H (14.8-18.9 cm) increased significantly with age among boys aged 12-15. But among girls, only the SJ-H and CMJ-H significantly increased in the 14-year-old group (SJ-H: 25.3 cm, CMJ-H: 27.0 cm) compared to the 13-year-old (24.5, 26.1 cm) (t=2.01, 2.19, P < 0.05). Additionally, boys performed better on the SJ-H, CMJ-H, LCMJ-H, and RCMJ-H, and this sex difference increased with age. There was no significant difference in EUR between boys and girls at different ages (1.06-1.09) (t=-0.11-0.94, P>0.05). The partial correlation analysis showed that SJ-H, CMJ-H, LCMJ-H, and RCMJ-H had low to moderate positive correlations with height (r=0.38-0.43), foot length (r=0.22-0.29) while low negative correlation with weight (r=-0.17-0.14)(P < 0.01). Conclusion The vertical jump performance increases with age among boys aged 12-15, while girls hardly increase until over the age of 14. The vertical jump performance is significantly associated with height, weight, and foot length and is restricted by greater weight among adolescents aged 12-15 years.
