Abstract
This study examined the effect of dumbbell accentuated eccentric loading on vertical jump height, flight time, and reactive strength. Vertical jumping is a skill that can improve performance and is critical for many sports. This study aimed to determine if accentuated eccentric loaded jumps can be used as a mode of training for improving jump height, flight time, and reactive strength.
