Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the potential relationship between some nutritional status indicators, represented by body fat
percentage (BF%) and total body water percentage (TBW%), and their relationship with vertical jump ability through the tests of
squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) among elite male senior athletes in the disciplines of volleyball (N=53,
Age=25.31±4.51), basketball (N=44, Age=26.58±5.41), long and triple jump (N=23, Age=22.53±3.4), and high jump (N=14,
Age=21.94±3.93).
It was found that there is a statistically significant negative relationship with the indicator (BF%), while a statistically significant
positive relationship was recorded with the indicator (TBW%).
