Dr. Diaz's team used the video footage to calculate average foot and tibial angles as well as
vertical average load rates and vertical instantaneous load rates in each participant.
To address this, researchers recently studied the relationship between foot angle (angle formed between the ground and foot on initial contact with the ground) & tibial angle (angle of the tibia from perpendicular landing) with
vertical average load rate as well as vertical instantaneous load rates.

But wait, there's even more: The
vertical and lateral G - force
loads for a NASCAR driver
average between three and five Gs in banked turns.
Finally, both
vertical average and instantaneous
load rates were higher in injured runners than in healthy runners consistent with prior literature.
However, the relative
load of one's own bodyweight compared to maximum
load that can be handled during a squat is extremely low in most cases, so for the
average fit individual a
vertical jump is more a measure of speed and explosiveness, not strength.)
