The role of plantar flexor function, isometric strength and task-specific kinetics, in sprint and jump performance

Abstract The role of isometric plantar flexion (PF) strength in sprinting and jumping is unclear and, in part, may be due to methodological issues with isometric dynamometry leading to inaccurate measures of PF strength. In addition, the relationship, and thus functional relevanc...
