Can foot anthropometry predict jumping performance in both sexes?

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
The relationship between countermovement jump (CMJ) performance and foot anthropometric measures were investigated. For women, a strong negative correlation existed¶ between foot length and CMJ performance as well as toe length and CMJ performance. This was not the case for men. These results highlight the need for incorporating more¶ diverse subject pools and caution should be exercised when generalizing across sexes. Further, the unexpected result that smaller feet and toes predicted higher jumps for women warrants further investigation.
