Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how external load affects vertical jump performance among cadets.
  • Analyzed the impact of external load on vertical jump height.
  • Examined both male and female cadets.
  • Varied load from 0% to 22% of body weight.
  • Vertical jump height significantly decreased with increased external load.
  • Load beyond 0% to 22% of body weight consistently reduced jump performance in both sexes.

Abstract

Findings highlight that increasing external load from 0% to 22% of body weight significantly reduces vertical jump height in both sexes.
