The exercise protocol consisted of a jumping protocol and a
short-duration maximal cycling test. The jumping protocol was
composed of 10 sets of 10 maximal vertical jumps with a 1 min
break between sets. Prior to starting the exercise, a maximal vertical
jump was performed with a chalk mark made by thefingertips at
the highest point of the jump. This mark was subsequently used as
a target height that the participant attempted to maintain for each
jump. On landing, participants were instructed to position their
hands on their hips and adopt a knee joint angle of approximately
90◦ to avoid compensation
