Description
Youri Duchene and co-authors repeat and extend an earlier study of how repeated jumping changes leg joint motion in basketball players, in a 2026 paper. Replication work is rare in sports biomechanics, so the team closely matched a 2021 study of single versus back-to-back countermovement jumps. Forty players jumped on force plates while motion capture tracked the toe, ankle, knee, and, newly here, hip joints.
Both studies found lower jump height, slower take-off, and softer landing forces in the repeated condition. Unlike the original, this study also found faster joint motion and higher power in single jumps at several joints, with the hip showing the same pattern at take-off. The authors weigh which findings held up and which shifted.
