Objectives:
The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of anaerobic power and capacity on vertical jump performance in female volleyball athletes.
Methods:
Thirty-five female volleyball athletes who play at elite level, participated in the study voluntarily. Anaerobic power and capacity were measured by Wingate Anaerobic Performance Test, while vertical jump performance was measured by Optojump Photoelectric Cell System. Vertical jump performance was evaluated in two different jump positions as squat jump and countermovement jump.
Results:
As a result of the correlation analysis of the data obtained with the tests, no relationship was found between anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity with squat and countermovement jump (p > 0.05). However, there are not significant relationship between relative anaerobic power and capacity with squat and countermovement jump (p < 0.05). Also, there is a negative correlation between body mass index and squat jump (r = -0.454) and countermovement jump (r = -0.590).
Conclusions:
Our results revealed that while anaerobic power and capacity are not related to jump performance, relative anaerobic power and capacity are related to vertical jump performance.

If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
01:25Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
