Produced momenta and work outputs of lower limb muscles during horizontal and vertical jumps

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in produced momenta and work outputs of lower limb muscles between horizontal and vertical jumps. Horizontal and vertical squat jumps were simulated using a musculoskeletal model. The simulation results suggest that the hamstrings and rectus femoris play an important role in the control of the jumping direction without reducing the total amount of work outputs of all muscles during jumping.
