Abstract

In this paper the basic information about methodology of assessment human body stiffness during vertical jump analysis is presented. Ten subjects (professional football player) perform ten periodic jumps and vertical ground reaction force is measured using a force plate with one axial load cell force sensor. The stiffness calculation is based on the analogy of the periodic jumping and oscillation movement of the system which consists of spring and body appropriate mass. The frequency of oscillation is obtained using Fourier transform.
