Abstract
Background: Biomechanical evaluations of sport-specific jump-landing tasks may provide a more ecologically valid interpretation compared to generic jump-landing tasks. For accurate interpretation of longitudinal research, it is essential to understand the reliability of biomechanical parameters of sport-specific jump-landing tasks. Research question: How reliable are hip, knee and ankle joint angles and moment curves during two volleyballspecific jump-landing tasks and is this comparable with the reliability of a generic jump-landing task? Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) biomechanical analyses of 27 male volleyball players were performed in two sessions separated by one week. Test-retest reliability was analyzed by calculating integrated as well as 1D intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and integrated standard error of measurement (SEM) for hip, knee and ankle angles and moments during a spike and block jump (volleyball-specific tasks), and during a drop vertical jump (generic task). Results: Reliability of joint angles of volleyball-specific and generic jump-landing tasks are similar with excellentto-good integrated ICC for hip, knee and ankle flexion/extension (ICC= 0.61-0.89) and hip and knee abduction/ adduction (ICC=0.61-0.78) but fair-to-poor ICC for ankle abduction/adduction (ICC=0.28-0.52) and hip, knee and ankle internal/external rotation (ICC=0.29-0.53). Reliability of hip, knee and ankle joint moments was good-to excellent (ICC= 0.62-0.86) except for hip flexion moment during spike jump and drop vertical jump (ICC=0.43-0.47) and knee flexion moment during both volleyball-specific tasks (ICC=0.56-0.57). For all tasks, curve analysis revealed poorer reliability at start and end of the landing phase than during the midpart. Significance: Our data suggests that kinematic evaluations of volleyball-specific jump-landing tasks are reliable to use in screening programs, especially in the sagittal plane. Notably, reliability is poorer at the beginning and end of the landing phase, requiring careful interpretation. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate the potential for integration of sport-specific jump-landing tasks in screening programs, which will be more ecologically valid.
