Abstract

The purpose of the study was to test whether Ergojump contact platform, used to measure the ability of lower limb drive through jumps, was valid to do it on the upper limbs from lying prone making elbow extension starting from the classical position flexion and extension of the arms and forearms at 90 degrees. A study was conducted of correlation between records of the platform (?= 1) and an electromyograph. Has also reliability analysis (e) experimental measure different plans that made the study variables, obtaining optimal results.
