The rate of force development (RFD) over time interval of 0–100 ms (RFD100) and the maximal RFD (RFDmax) were calculated from the force-time curve (∆force/∆time) obtained during the highest SJ. The RFD100 was calculated as the average of the force produced during the first 0–100 ms, while that RFDmax was calculated as the maximal force produced during SJ divided by the time taken to achieve peak force. The onset of muscle contraction was defined as the time point at which the curve exceeded subject’s body mass.
