Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Movement/event-related cortical potentials (EEG) before the start of the movement and during the jump/fall (e.g. visual evoked potentials, P100-P300). The beginning of the movement (leaving the jump box) and the end of the movement (landing) are recorded with an integrated three-dimensional accelerometer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Landing safety is measured by the maximum ground reaction forces (force plate). The quality of decision-making is measured by the number of correct front and sidesteps. In addition, the reaction time (time between landing and reaching/deactivating the light sensors) is recorded.
