For the accomplishment of the purpose of this study six intervarsity level male high jumpers were randomly selected from the 70th All India Intervarsity Athletic Championship, held at Chennai, 2009. Their mean age, height and weight were 21 yrs, 170.87 cm and 60.5 kg, respectively. To acquire kinematical data during the competition, one high speed Sony DCR SX40E camcorder mounted at a height of 5 feet was placed at 10 meters away, perpendicular to the bar. All subjects were performed three jumps, and the successful and unsuccessful jump for each athlete was selected for further analysis. Video footages were downloaded, slashed to desired footages and edited for biomechanical analysis. Ankle angle, knee angle, hip angle, shoulder angle and elbow angle in different five phases (take-off preparation phase, take-off phase, flight phase, 'L' position phase and landing phase) were digitized with the help of Silicon Coach Pro7 motion analysis software. All statistical procedures were conducted using the SPSS (16.0 Version software. A level of significance was set at 0.05. The acquired data of the variables were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis followed by t test. The results showed that insignificant differences were found between successful and unsuccessful jump on selected parameters. | | Keywords : | | |
