Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lower limb(such as hip, knee, and ankle joint) isokinetic strength and jumping performance(such as squat jump, counter movement jump, and rebound jump) in male. Total thirty subjects were volunteered to lower limb isokinetic strength test in dominant foot and jumping performance test on three types. The Pearson correlation test was used to determine the relationship between lower limb isokinetic strength and jumping performance. The extensor isokinetic strength of the hip, knee, and ankle joint had a significant correlation with jumping performance(excluded between knee extensor isokinetic strength and rebound jump performance). and The significant correlation between knee flexor isokinetic strength and squat jumping performance. These results suggest that extensor strength important for jump performance, and then knee isokinetic strength can used indirectly prediction of jump performance.
