THE INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FACTORS ON THE DROP JUMP HEIGHT
Abstract
The Drop jump (DJ) is an important tool in muscle power development. There are different factors that determine DJ performance, of which the key external and internal are defined. The aim of this narrative review article is to present the factors that determine the performance of the DJ. The comparative analytical method is used to compare and comment on the results of available scientific studies. The results show that technique and instruction together, among external factors, highly determine DJ height. The highest determination of DJ height has age among its internal factors. These findings contribute to better management of motor abilities testing and the training process in order to accomplish high sports success.
