Arm Swing during Vertical Jumps does not Increase EMG Activity of the Lower Limb Muscles

Arm swing improves vertical jump height but the underlying mechanism is not well understood. We assume that the negative acceleration of arm swing can increase the load and tension of the lower limb’s extensor muscles enhancing force output and resulting in higher jump. The purpose of this study was...
