From the supplier: The movement control of novice jumpers during vertical jumps appears to vary, although coordination may be mature. Thirty-two children with different takeoff angles were assigned into two groups and compared in terms of coordination and control. Results indicated that the two groups, although they differed from the adults on certain spatial or control measures, possessed temporal coordination patterns that are comparable to the adult pattern. There were also indications that mature jump coordination patterns are evident during the early stages of jumping behavior. Nevertheless, the novice jumpers have trouble with control measures such as strength, balance and perception.
