In the high jump, jumpers extend the take-off leg joints with maximum effort, but kinetic requirements (joint torque/power) for each joint were unclear.
We found that torque correlates with flight height for the hip joint and torque and power correlate with flight height for the knee joint. These findings suggest that the kinetic requirement for performance differs between joints.
