Abstract

The vertical force data from a drop and stick landing can be used to derive a number of variables. Previous studies have generally focused on the time to stabilization and peak force aspects, and issues related to reliability have been reported. This study investigated reliability for time to stabilisation, peak force, time to peak force, stiffness, rate of force dissipation, impulse and eccentric power (EP) among five professional elite surfing athletes. This data was also compared to data of aerial success in World Championship Tour competitions. The results revealed the best relationship between relative stiffness as well as eccentric power and completion rate of aerial manoeuvres. Further, eccentric power had the best reliability of the variables and may therefore be an interesting variable to study further.
