Net Impulse and Net Impulse Characteristics in Vertical Jumping
… dissertation was to explore the potential use of net impulse and its characteristics in vertical jumping to monitor athletes' performance status and responses/adaptations to interventions. Five variables were proposed as net impulse characteristics: net impulse height and width, rate of force …

Blast mitigation strategies for vehicles using shape optimization methods
… the solid body is measured in terms of the total impulse acting on the vehicle. Simplified two-dimensional and three-dimensional computational models are developed to simulate this problem, and the effect of vehicle hull shape on the net impulse loading on the vehicle is analyzed over varying …

The effect of variable resistance training for the post activation performance enhancement of the countermovement jump
… specifically for jump height and positive net impulse. Twelve resistance-trained individuals volunteered to participate in three experimental trials. Completion of trials was randomised between the traditional, no-chain, and variable, chain, resistance modes. Participants performed 3 sets …

Contemporary and novel assessment of biomechanics in plyometric and ballistic exercise and the implications for elite and recreational athletes
… the assessment and understanding of the kinetic and kinematic characteristics which underpin effective performance are still emerging. This thesis begins by comparing methods of quantifying intensity and volume of such exercises. Measures of intensity which may be considered internal …

Dynamic Strength Index and Countermovement Jump Performance in Female and Male Collegiate Basketball Athletes Across a Competitive Season
… depth (CMD), and relative propulsive net impulse (RPNI)), and lower extremity kinematics (hip, knee, ankle) across four timepoints in a competitive basketball season among female and male collegiate athletes. Methods: Twelve female and six male varsity basketball athletes completed CMJ …
