METHOD FOR DETERMINING SPORTSMAN JUMPING CAPACITY Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: equipment used in sportive medicine for evaluation of SPORTSMAN functional state. SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring reaction force of bearing occurring when sportsman repels himself from dynamometric platform by analyzing recorded curve F(t), i.e. integrating curve F(t) at predetermined period [T(1); T(2)] and determining integral work of force of bearing cooperation of sportsman with dynamometric platform during fixed time interval Δ T=T(2) - T(1); evaluating jumping capacity by average cooperation power which is calculated by formula: , where W is average power of cooperation between sportsman and platform, W; F(t) is current value of vertical component of reaction force of bearing, H; M is SPORTSMAN weight, kg; Δ T is duration of fixed time interval - repulsion phase, s; g is free falling acceleration, m/s; evaluating individual jumping capacity by relative power, which is calculated by formula: W(r) = , where W(r) is relative power,; H is SPORTSMAN height. EFFECT: increased efficiency by improved precision and enhanced reliability in operation. 2 cl, 1 dwg, 2 tbl
