Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to study, through cinematography, selected mechanical factors that contribute to vertical jumping performance. The investigation included an analysis of the angular measurements of the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and body lean. In addition to the angular measurements the velocities of the arm movement, hip extension, knee extension, and plantar flexion were also investigated as was the sequential order of the position, velocity, and acceleration of body parts during the selected jumps.
