This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of jump assessments using MyJump2 application. Eleven junior athletes (15 ± 1.4 years) performed five countermovement (CMJ) drop jumps (DJ) measured simultaneously by a force platform MyJump2. Additionally, intra- inter-day was assessed over two sessions, 7 days apart. Extremely high agreement between (intra-class correlation coefficient, ICC ≥ 0.99) inter-operator (ICC = 0.98–0.99) confirmed Mean typical errors (coefficient variation...

Descriptive methods univariate analyses used compare player developmental trajectories by peak levels. Discriminant...
Differences in interceptive skill between highly skilled and lesser cricket batsmen were examined using a batting task that required participants to strike front-foot drive strokes from machine-projected ball specified target. Task difficulty was manipulated by varying the width of bat (normal, half, third width) target accuracy, quality bat–ball contact monitored along with temporal sequential elements hitting action. Analyses revealed distinguishable less counterparts their higher accuracy...
