An electromyographic assessment was made to evaluate the influence of motor control in jumping. Fifteen healthy subjects carried out three consecutive trials of vertical jumps, during which electromyography (EMG) was recorded of the muscles of vastus medialis (VM), rectus femuris (RF), biceps femuris (BF) and gastrocnemius lateralis (LG). The time of flight and the phases of the jump were identified by a pressure sensor. The results demonstrated a significant difference (p
