| dc.description | This study examined the effect of different coaching conditions on the magnitude
and reliability of drop jump height in men and women. Nineteen collegiate sport
sciences students (10 men) performed two sets of 10 drop jumps under four different
coaching conditions: neutral, augmented feedback, external focus of attention, and a
combination of augmented feedback and external focus of attention. The augmented
feedback condition revealed a significantly higher jump height than the neutral
condition (p = .002), while no significant differences were observed for the
remaining conditions (p 2.38). The external focus of attention condition was
more reliable than the neutral and augmented feedback conditions (coefficient
of variationratio 2 1.15), while no differences were observed between the remaining
conditions. These results suggest that both the magnitude and reliability of the drop
jump height performance are influenced by the coaching condition. | |
