Abstract

Muscle cramps often accompany a soldier’s high physical readiness in a tactical environment. Close monitoring of the muscles is required during the downward jump training at a certain height, which combines isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic movements. In this paper, we propose a preliminary study on vertical jumps and forward and backward body postures to detect the onset of cramps. Six soldiers were divided into two groups of three subjects each: group one, forward fall jumps, and the other group, backward fall jumps. A high-resolution camera captured the movements, which were then analyzed using Kinovea software version 0.9.5. Downward jumps with the body backward are less likely to cause cramps, and muscle bands are recommended to prevent leg muscle cramps.
