Relative Strength and Segment Ratios as Correlates of Countermovement Jump Kinematics: Different Patterns in Male and Female Athletes

This dataset contains anthropometric, strength, and biomechanical data collected from 36 collegiate athletes (16 males, 20 females) from university basketball, volleyball, American football, and flag football teams. The data was gathered to investigate the associations between countermovement jump (CMJ) kinematics, gym-based relative strength, and segment proportions, as well as to identify sex-specific movement strategies (knee-dominant vs. hip-dominant).
The dataset includes aggregated physical characteristics, segment ratios, dynamic strength maximums (5RM), and calculated lower-body kinematic ranges of motion during the eccentric and concentric phases of the CMJ.
To ensure participant anonymity in compliance with ethical guidelines for human subjects research, all identifiable information, including specific dates of birth, has been removed. Participant age at the time of testing has been calculated and retained.
