Abstract

The aims of this study were to analyze the differences in the vertical and horizontal jump ability depending on the sport practiced (soccer, basket and table tennis) and to determinate the correlation between the horizontal and vertical jumps. 37 young athletes (16-18 years, 16 soccer players, 11 basketball players and 10 table tennis player) of were evaluated on the vertical and horizontal jump ability, both bilaterally and unilaterally . No significant differences in vertical jumping ability were found, but in the horizontal jump, significant differences were found, being the basketball players obtained the best performance. Correlation between the two legs horizontal and vertical jump was found (r = 0.724, p < 0.01). However, more studies are needed comparing horizontal jump capacity between sports, to corroborate the obtained results.
