Abstract
PURPOSE:
To compare average power output (APO) results as calculated directly fro
m instantaneous vertical ground reaction forces (IVGRFs), with the Bosco Test APO.
METHODS:
18 sedentary adult males (21.6±2.4 years, 67.2±11.3 kg, 1.77±0.05 m), 6 volleyball players (22.0±3.4 years, 72.3±12.5 kg, 1.8
4±0.10 m), 6 marathon runners
(30.8±7.7
years, 73.2±11.0 kg, 1.75±0.05 m), and 6 swimmers (32.2±6.91 years, 78.8±4.6 kg, 1.77±0.06 m) performed a 60
-
s Bosco Test on a Force Plate. Total time in the
air, total number of jumps, and IVGRFs were recorded from the force plate signal. APO (Watts/kg)
was calculated from ‘efficient’ IVGRF using both the conventional Bosco
methodology and PotevAA, our proposed method, for the same trials. Two-way ANOVAs with repeated measures were used to compare APO for the different groups and
between methods.
