Abstract
Purpose:To investigate whether the difference in jump height between countermovement jumps (CMJ) and squat jumps (SJ) could be explained by a difference in active state during propulsion.Methods:Simulations were performed with a model of the human musculoskeletal system comprising four bodyKeywords
