"Jump training techniques"Laura Ramus

"Landing mechanics: what, why and when" Mitch Hauschildt
"When an athlete uses their quadricep muscles as a primary source of movement (quad dominant), they have difficulty getting a full hip extension and appear as though they are always sticking their rear out. This position robs them of valuable power production as the glutes are the most powerful muscle group of the lower extremity."
