The purpose of this research was to determine if two different conditioning loads could induce acute improvements in height and power output during counter-movement jumping. Ten recreationally active men who were currently resistance training the legs participated in the study. On two separate occasions, subjects completed either five repetitions of a light jump squat or five repetitions of a moderately heavy back squat. At 5- and 15-minutes following the conditioning loads, counter-movement jumps were completed and compared to determine if the different condition loads or the recovery time following the conditioning loads affected counter-movement jump performance. The peak and average height and power outputs of the counter-movement jumps were assessed using a motion analysis system and force plate. A significant improvement was found for the average counter-movement jump height following the jump squat conditioning load. A significant difference was also determined for average power output between 5- and 15-minutes following both conditioning loads. Lighter conditioning loads performed explosively may acutely improve aspects of counter-movement jumping following a 5-minute rest period.
