摘要：The aim of the study was to find out the relationship between tapping frequency of lower limbs and verticaljump heightin elite Slovak soccer players (n = 41, age = 23.6±4.8 years, height = 180.9±7.1cm, weight =77.3±7.5kg). The level of tapping frequency of lower limbs (TF) wasdiagnosed by device FiTROtapping,(FiTRONIC, Bratislava, SlovakRepublic). The criterion of performance evaluation of every measured soccerplayer was total number of contacts with both legs on contact mats of mentioned device during 6 s ina standing position. Vertical jump heights were measured by 2 types of vertical jumps with the deviceFiTROJumper, (FiTRONIC, Bratislava, Slovak Republic): Squat jump (SJ) a Countermovement jump (CMJ).Pearson correlation coefficient (r, α = 0.05) was used for determination of difference significance betweenobserved parameters (TF – SJ; TF – CMJ). Statistical analysis was realized by software IBM® SPSS®Statistics V19. Statistical analysis showed linear dependency between TF and SJ (r = 0.45, p<0.05) and aswell as between TF and CMJ (r = 0.49, p<0.05).
