Abstract
We aimed to determine key biomechanical parameters explaining age-related jumping performance differences in youth elite female soccer players. Multiple biomechanical parameters from countermovement (CMJ) squat (SJ) and drop (DJ) jump testing of elite female soccer players (n?=?60) within the same national training centre were analysed across ages 9-11y, 12-14y and 15-19y.
